Karate - Our Karate program is rooted in traditional Okinawan Shorei-Ryu Karate.  In our Karate class, students will practice: Stances, Blocks, Punches, Strikes, Kicks, Kumite(sparring or fighting), as well as Katas (the Short and Long Forms used in Traditional Karate.)  Students will also train with many of the traditional Japanese weapons such as the Bo (staff), Sai (small pitchfork), Nunchuka (two small sticks connected with a rope or chain), Tonfa (knight stick), katana (sword) and more.

Keishidojo's Karate program is the first Martial Arts Unlimited program designed for both children and adults. This karate program is modern with realistic yet fun training methods, that have been designed to make the art easier to learn and far more practical for today's self-defense situations.

Some of the greatest results from learning Karate is the benefits the students gain from the training. 
[ Increased self-esteem
[ Improved concentration
[ More Flexability
[ Better grades in school

Jui-Jitsu (Submission Fighting) - Jui-Jitsu is the heart of grappling. Studies show that about 90% of all fights will end up on the ground.  Even if you are faced with multiple attackers and the last thing you want to do is go to the ground, eventually, you will likely end up there.
Keishidojo has two types of ground fighting applications: sport and practical street defense. Over the course of the training, a student will learn both approaches and learn how to develop base, balance, timing, speed, endurance, coordination, and most importantly - patience.

In our Jui-Jitsu Submission Fighting system of grappling, students will be trained in the following areas:
[ Joint locks
[ Defensive positions & escapes
[ Positions of control
[ Striking advantages
[ Clinch control
[ Chokes
[ Takedowns 

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) - Total Fighting Concepts - is Martial Arts Unlimited's own blend of MMA.  Training consists:
[ Aikido - Joint locks
[ Kali - Weapon defense
[ Jiu-Jitsu - Ground defense & Submissions
[ Muay Thai - Striking
[ Judo - Throws & Takedowns 
[ Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do - Trapping

TFC is for the person who wants to train everything but only has the time to dedicate to one single class.

Combative Aikido - Our Combative Aikido has its roots in traditional Aikido where the concept is to use your attacker's energy against him. How our program is different is that we use more modern realistic training methods to make the art easier to learn, and practical for today's self-defense purposes.

   In the traditional sense, Aikido is more of an energy learning experience. For example, you will learn to use your opponents energy against them by developing a sense of how to manipulate their energy.  If you were to travel to Japan and train in Iwama Aikido or at the Hombudojo, you would find two very different styles of the martial art know as aikido.  They are not necessarily different martial arts, although the approach to the techniques and the training is very different.

At Keishidojo Martial Arts & Fitness Center here in Sumter S.C. we are more into ensuring that the martial art you take the time to learn is as useful and practical as possible while not abandoning what the founder was trying to accomplish.  In order to accomplish this, we incorporated more aliveness training and realism into our Combative Aikido techniques.  For information on aikido classes please call for information.

Modern Kali - The Modern Kali program has its roots in traditional Filipino Kali, Escrima, and Arnis. This class also has the trapping techniques from Chinese Wing Chun, and Muay Thai kickboxing techniques.  This program is designed to incorporate a fundamental standard to weapons training allowing a student of this art to use any other type weapon with ease.  In other words, the basic techniques you learn with a stick and knife can be applied to an asp, baton, chain, or even something as small as a ball point pen.

With this modern approach to weapons, the student will learn the following combat methods:

[ Single/Double Stick Fighting
[ Knife Fighting
[ Stick and Knife Fighting
[ Empty Hand Fighting
[ Clinch and Ground training with weaponry
[ Unevenly matched fighting (i.e. empty hand vs. weapon)

 And much, much more.
