At New Visions Dojo, we study Wado-ryu karate-do, a traditional Japanese martial art based on a masterful blend of martial principles, movement concepts, and mind-body connection. Wado translates as “Way of Harmony”, a meaning that resonates in every aspect of training.
Our instructors, Ryan and Chelsie Guillemet have a combined 50 years of teaching experience and a genuine desire to share martial arts and propel students toward their very best. As a result, New Visions Dojo has grown a tremendous reputation for traditional training with modern insights, high standards, and camaraderie that allows our students to excel on the mat, in their communities and beyond.
When you enroll in our kids karate classes, you’re signing up for proactive, professional instruction with teachers who invest in your children to help them develop goals, skills, and a personal best. Meeting students on their level is our specialty. We carefully construct classes according to skill, age, and rank, while working with parents to build an individualized program that produces lifelong benefits.
We train our students to use their skills of awareness, redirection, and avoidance before resorting to physical combat. Our curriculum covers defensive strategies for all forms of confrontation: verbal, single/multiple attackers, and ground defense. The dojo (classroom) represents life on a smaller scale, cultivating each student’s best effort and attitude as they set their bar high and build confidence to handle themselves in any situation.
Additionally, New Visions Dojo offers competition training through Nashville Sport Karate — a nationally-recognized karate team open to students of all ages and ranks. Sport karate training compliments traditional class work by refining technique, precision, and athletic performance so that karate athletes can test their skills against high standards.
Karate training can have a profound impact on the lives of students and families, and we at New Visions Dojo are committed to our mission of helping our students realize their inner strength and pursue their true potential with confidence.
In celebration of 15 GREAT years of New Visions Dojo, we’re offering new students a $15 anniversary trial – 5 karate classes and uniform for only $15! Sign up for your evaluation lesson today and come see what sets us apart!
