OSU KARATE CLUB

OSU Karate Club


The OSU Karate Club is open to martial artists of all styles at all belt levels, from beginner to advanced.

A typical club training session is arranged as follows: The first twenty minutes or so consists of warm-up exercises. After warm-up, there is a structured workout that includes learning and practicing defensive techniques (blocking, punching, kicking) and grappling (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). We also learn and practice techniques involving short sticks (Kali), staff (bo), sai, kama, and other traditional Karate self-defense weapons. The remaining time is open to the participants to work on the areas of their choice, e.g., kata practice, sparring, heavy bag drills, self-defense, and ground fighting.

The first club training session you attend is free. The membership fee is $10 for the Fall semester, $10 for the Spring semester, and $5 for the Summer session.

The Karate Club meets on Fridays from 7 to 9 PM in Multipurpose #2 at the Colvin Center.
