Blade Family Martial Arts Academy

Blade Family Martial Arts Academy offers Karate, Tae Kwon Do, an Okinawan Kobudo (Weapons) program, a Women Only Self Defense class, Kids Night Out events, and private lessons. The Okinawan Kobudo program includes training with six traditional Okinawan weapons: Bo, Sai, Tonfa, Nunchaku, Eiku, and Kama, with specific katas taught for each weapon. For each weapon, students learn manipulation, body conditioning, free exercise, theory, and self defense, and receive a small weapons patch for certification, with a detailed multi-level kanji patch structure leading up to a “Kobudo Black belt” or 1st Level kanji patch after all six weapons are certified.

• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Weekly classes are offered Monday through Saturday in Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Okinawan Kobudo, and Women Only Self Defense, with attendance limited to 2 classes per week per style except for Orange belt or higher.
• Price: Kids Night Out is $25 per child; monthly program options include Tae Kwon Do or Karate at $85 per month, Tae Kwon Do or Karate plus Kobudo at $115 per month, Kobudo alone at $50 per month, dual Tae Kwon Do and Karate at $125 per month, several family rate options, and private lessons at $55 per hour, with specific add-on Kobudo rates for current and family-plan students.

The academy’s mission statement is “Self-confidence, fitness and focus through Martial Arts training!” Sensei Courtland Blade holds a 4th Degree Black Belt in Shorei Goju Ryu and 3rd Level in Okinawan Kobudo, and Instructor Angel Blade holds a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Shorei Goju Ryu and 2nd Level in Okinawan Kobudo. The Okinawan Kobudo program is open to all ranks and styles, and Karate and Tae Kwon Do students can participate because Kobudo is its own independent category, with classes every Thursday from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm except every 2nd Thursday, when Hanshi Kincaid leads the weapons class from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Weekly classes follow a set schedule that includes all-ages Karate and Tae Kwon Do options on multiple days, Adult Karate classes on Monday and Thursday, a Women Only Self Defense class on Wednesday evenings, and Kids Night Out listed on Friday, May 15th from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Annual memberships are available, and the program information is listed under Copyright © 2020–2026 Blade Family Martial Arts Academy.
