The Karate Club, along with members of the Northfield community, practices Shorin-Ryu style karate which originates in the Okinawa islands in Japan. The club is connected to the Karate class, both of which are led by Sensei Steve Hatle (and sometimes aided by senior students). Karate requires both physical and mental concentration, and trains resilience, stability, confidence, and reaction time. The group meets during the second hour of class time to practice karate weekly. We also meet up outside of practice hours just to hang out, get to know each other, and have fun!
