Shorin Ryu Karate 空手 is the oldest form of karate developed in Okinawa, part of the Ryukyu Island Kingdom in ancient Japan. It was developed by the oldest and healthiest people on earth live. With it's roots starting at the Shaolin temple from the 5th century (1,500 years ago) Shorin ryu Karate was influenced by Chinese kung fu, particularly the Tiger and Crane styles. Karate is world class as a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and open-hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. But authentic Karate is much more including grappling, conditioning, throws, joint locks, restraints, and vital-point strikes also.

Summit Martial Arts Adult Gracie/Pedro Sauer Jiujitsu

Powerful conditioning to get you in great shape and world class skills. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds.
BJJ focuses on controlling one’s opponent, gaining a dominant position over him, and using a number of specialized techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was first developed and modified in the 1920s by Brazilian brothers Carlos, George, and Hélio Gracie after Carlos was taught traditional Kodokan judo by a traveling Japanese judoka called Mitsuyo Maeda in 1917.
The brothers later went on to develop their own self defence system named Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which is not that different from traditional BJJ, but it’s still very distinctive. BJJ eventually came to be its own defined combat sport through the innovations, practices, and adaptation of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, with governing bodies such as the IBJJF working worldwide, becoming an essential martial art for MMA.

Judo and Japanese Jujitsu from Japan, is a combination of modern martial art and ancient samurai arts going back more than a thousand years, which has since evolved from battlefield into a combat and Olympic sport. Judo is derived from Jujutsu. Jujitsu Meaning “gentle or yielding way” with the goal of maximum efficiency, teaches the student to use the least amount of physical strength necessary to throw an opponent. This is accomplished by proper use of technique and timing.
With its origins coming from Jujutsu, Judo’s most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdueing an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke.

Kids and Teens Martial Arts
Summit Martial Arts offers both Jiujitsu and Karate for Kids and Teens. Classes are fun, exciting and teach real self defense, improve fitness, and most importantly tools for a happy, successful life; disipline, determination, confidence, and commitment to set and accomplish goal.
Many kids and teens today are smart, and have great personalities but are just too shy and reserved to share it with the world. Could achieve amazing things, but have low self esteem and it that holds them back from their true potential. Powerful minds and big dreams but not enough courage or ambition to chase them.
Smart but difficulty focusing due to short attention spans or conditions such as ADD and ADHD. Lots of energy but its directed toward video games, TV, youtube and other “digital dangers” that keep them glued to the couch.
We all want our kids to change the world and make an impact on future generations. Teaching how to reach work for and reach goals, through a focus on earning rank through hard work and achieving goals, incrementally reaching goals step-by-step. All while instilling values such as kindness, empathy, respect, humility, and discipline.
In Authentic Martial Arts respect, self-control and humility are most important, kids learn to listen attentively to their elders. It starts with a good attitude and by learning one thing at a time correctly, do it right, do it again (practice), then putting it into a combination of moves done correctly, then lots of these single techiques put together with precision, speed and power. Once they realize what they can accomplish amazing things by simply paying attention, they begin listening in other areas of life as well.
We teach children that most situations can be resolved through communication, by seeking out an authority such as a parent or teacher and thoroughly explaining the situation. We never want to see kids use their Martial Arts skills in the outside world, but there also no ones punching bag. And if they need to protect themselves, we also believe understanding how to respond to a threat is crucial in today’s society.
