We have three Karate classes and one Kobudo (ancient Okinawan weapons) class per week. All classes are at the Penobscot Bay YMCA, located at 16 Union Street, Rockport, Maine.
Karate classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
Kobudo class takes place during the last 30 minutes of one karate class per week. Each week we focus on one of the four most practiced traditional Okinawan weapons.
Each week’s Kobudo class takes place on a different day of the week. For a detailed look at the schedule, check the calendar below.
