Women's Self-Defense & Empowerment Series
Practical Self-Defense. Four Class Series.
A four-week series open to anyone — no karate experience needed. New sessions run quarterly. This is our entry point for women who want practical self-defense skills before committing to ongoing membership.
Women's Karate
Self-Defense Karate for Women
Our traditional, Okinawan karate classes include warm-up, fundamental practice, kata (forms), 2-person drills, and self-defense applications. All classes are open to any belt-level.
Tuesday & Thursday:
6:00 PM to 7 PM
Sunday:
12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Open Practice
Extra practice time and one-on-one help for current Women's Karate students — especially useful if the Tuesday or Thursday evening classes don't fit your schedule. Included with Women's Karate membership.
Sunday:
11 AM to Noon
Looking for Daytime Classes?
Virginia Dojo also offers The Midday Dojo — the same traditional Okinawan karate curriculum at noon on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Open to all adults, designed for active adults with daytime availability.
If evenings don't work, this might.
