Sensei Roland Edgar founded Karate RED in Bremerton to teach traditional Okinawan karate in the Shitoryu style, and the dojo traces his line of teachers through David Grout, Akio Minakami and Teruo Hayashi to Kenwa Mabuni. His own training began in UKO Karate, and the dojo draws on 30 years of his martial arts training and teaching. Classes take all skill levels from age 4, and the youngest children have a class of their own.
The training week runs Monday through Thursday, with Fridays kept for make-up classes in holiday weeks, and each student comes to between two and four classes a week. The Basic Class takes everyone from age 7. Purple and green belts train together in one class and brown and black belts in another, each on four evenings a week. The dojo also prepares students for tournaments and competitions, and family discounts are available. Anyone who needs accommodations is asked to let the dojo know.
- Samurai Class for ages 4 to 6, Monday through Thursday
- Separate classes for purple/green belts and brown/black belts
- Lineage through Teruo Hayashi back to Kenwa Mabuni
Kids and juniors at Karate RED
The Samurai Class is for ages 4 to 6 and meets Monday through Thursday in the late afternoon, in a 30-minute session. Its drills include what the dojo calls “Fun Drills for Jumping+Kick and Timing.” From age 7, children move to the Basic Class, which follows straight after on the same four days and is open to everyone from that age up. Kids keep to the same rhythm as every other student, two to four classes a week.
