HATTATSU RYU KARATE
Hattatsu Ryu is an eclectic martial art system developed by John Ingallina after many years of study in arts ranging from Karate, Jujitsu, Judo, Kung Fu, Wrestling, Boxing and Muay Thai. It is also, just as importantly, an art that incorporates and educates students in psychological self-defense and stresses the importance of physical fitness. The style emphasizes traditional values and work ethics combined with a modern day approach to self-protection. We follow the post 19th century karate format of teaching kihon (basics), kata (self defense forms) and kumite (sparring).
The system can be classified as a philosophy more than a defined group of movements. It is based on principles rather than a compilation of techniques. This is not to imply that the techniques that make up a system are not important. They are of great magnitude but they are not enough. The most refined techniques known will be of little use when one does not train with principles, a sound philosophy and a training regimen that allows a person to be physically and mentally capable of handling a situation. Remember that “situations” are not relegated to only physical altercations but also challenges that occur in our everyday lives.
Hattatsu Ryu is a system that takes into consideration the different sizes, ages, genders and physical capabilities of the students. It is one that offers enough freedom to allow students to learn and excel at their own pace, utilizing their own individual strengths. As the name implies, we are a school of progressive growth. The students are encouraged to always keep an open mind and to explore and educate themselves in all areas of self-improvement, both in and out of the arena of martial arts.
