Following the warm-up are blocks, strikes, kicks, takedowns, rolls &amp; falls, as well as one-on-one and multiple-attacker self-defense and sparring. Traditional empty hand and weapon forms are practiced extensively, as they are the foundation of Isshinryu Karate. Aikido is practiced primarily in the self-defense applications of Te Jutsu; the intent being to effectively defend oneself while causing minimal harm to the attacker yet being able to meet the attacker at their level of intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A primary focus of traditional martial arts training is developing and maintaining a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Confidence is gained through becoming stronger mentally and physically, all the while learning and improving movement, balance, self-defense and sparring ability. This growth and increasing capability in the martial arts is tempered with the awareness and practice of humility and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ages 12 and older are welcome to apply for participation in classes, which are held at the Fruitland Grange on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Training location &#8211; 11102 86 Ave E Puyallup, WA 98373<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/11102+86th+Ave+E,+Puyallup,+WA+98373\/@47.1558629,-122.3181695,15.7z\/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x5490fc4b547a0be3:0x21b8d453ceb511fd!8m2!3d47.1558095!4d-122.3155159!16s%2Fg%2F11c43t6sjy?authuser=0&amp;entry=ttu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/northwest-isshinryu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Map-to-dojo-1024x500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/northwest-isshinryu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Map-to-dojo-1024x500.png 1024w, https:\/\/northwest-isshinryu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Map-to-dojo-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/northwest-isshinryu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Map-to-dojo-768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/northwest-isshinryu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Map-to-dojo.png 1166w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Training at the Northwest Isshinryu dojo begins with a 15-20 minute warm-up, which includes stretching and calisthenics.
