Berkeley Cuong Nhu Karate

The whole family can get a workout together! My kids (age 7 and 10) go to the kid class while I go to the adult class, which takes place at the same time. We all love it.

I am almost 63 years old and have been a student at Berkeley Cuong Nhu since 1983. Cuong Nhu combines traditional shotokan style karate with other Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese martial arts forms to create a versatile and highly adaptable style. It builds self-​confidence, mental discipline and physical strength, but more than that it’s fun! Master John Burns is unique in his ability to combine humor with motivation toward levels achievement the beginning student would have thought impossible. The school attracts an amazing variety of students, both young and old, who train together in a spirit of cooperation and mutual support. Once you give it a try you’ll become addicted; it’s that great!
