Rooted in the time-honored techniques of Traditional Okinawan Karate, our program teaches powerful, natural body movements that develop real-world self-protection skills and lasting inner strength. This is more than punches and kicks — it’s about moving the way your body was designed to move, improving coordination, balance, and control while building confidence from the inside out.
At RVA Shidokan, inclusion and cooperation are at the heart of everything we do. We train together, support one another, and grow as a community. Every class is designed to be safe, respectful, and motivating — a place where beginners feel welcome, experienced students stay challenged, and everyone is encouraged to reach their personal best.
No matter your age or starting point, you’ll leave each session feeling stronger, more focused, and more capable than when you walked in — empowered not just by what you’ve learned, but by the community training alongside you.
This special class will be lead by Sensei Roberto Curtis, 9th Dan in Shidokan Karate with more than 50 years of experience. More information on Sensei Roberto can be found here:

A Restful Half-Day to Sense What Matters and Shape
What’s Next
with Sarah Fischer and Mare
Grinnan
This half-day is a chance to slow down and get out of your own way for a few hours.
We’ll spend the afternoon moving gently, sitting quietly, and working with images, words, and color to see what wants your attention right now. There’s no pressure to figure anything out or make big declarations. The focus is on noticing what feels true and letting that guide what you create.
We’ll begin with simple movement to shake loose some of the mental and physical clutter we carry without realizing it. From there, we’ll move into guided meditation and intuitive visioning. Parts of the process will be held in silence, with a live sound bath woven in to support focus, creativity, and ease.
After a break for tea and snacks, we’ll come back together. Sarah and Mare will share how they’ve worked with vision boards over time, then you’ll continue shaping your own visual map. There will be time to exchange reflections with a partner and a closing group share, for anyone who wants it.
You’ll leave with something real in your hands and a clearer sense of what matters now. It's not a plan you need to follow, it's a reminder of where you are already headed.
March 22 | 2–5 pm
