    Youth and Adult Classes – Register Now!

    logo_ymcaSedona AZ (February 10, 2013) – Learning karate, self-discipline and self-defense doesn’t have to be an expensive proposition. Check out the Sedona YMCA, which offers Kenpo karate classes twice weekly for four different age groups including adults, and a monthly self defense class for women and teen girls.

    The karate program at the Y is designed to teach all ages the basics of self-defense and karate, but more importantly to instill greater self-discipline, self confidence, respect, health and vitality. Each class introduces new skills, strategies and ideas while building on what students have already learned.

    20130210_KARATE-Y“Youth classes included different games and interactive dialogue about their day in school, concerns they have, and the importance of building respect, honor, confidence and discipline” said local karate instructor Richard Lockery. Mr. Lockery taught kenpo karate classes in the state of Connecticut for 18 years before moving to Sedona and is member of the Arizona Rangers.

    Mr. Lockery also teaches the monthly self defense class for women and teen girls. These motivational classes begin with a brief narrative including the common mistakes made by women and young girls that potentially make them a target. Students engage in exercises and warm-up’s to prevent injury and then begin to concentrate on effective defense techniques.

    In this spirit, the YMCA offers karate classes so that members can benefit intellectually, physically and emotionally.

    We Have Been Thoroughly Trained!
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    Throughout the years, we have been trained. Part of the training is to see others as trained, but not ourselves. Even though we are the others that others are trained to see as trained, we tend to miss that little nuance. The training says we must know what’s right and speak out when we see something that runs contrary to our understanding of rightness. We don’t stop to realize that what we see as right isn’t exactly right or it would be the right version that everyone in their right mind knew as right. There are billions of versions of right but ours is the only real right one. Seems fishy, doesn’t it? We spend our days, our lives, catching others — the wrong ones — doing and saying things in support of their versions of right and our training has us jumping on the critical bandwagon lest we be painted in support of the wrong right. What in this crazy world moves us with such amazing force to crave rightness, to need to be seen as right? Read more→
