Grand Master
Tenzan Hirakawa

Tenshin-kai Karate is a unique blend of traditional Karate and Tai Chi. One's inner power, or Chi is used in addition to physical strength. As a person gets older the body starts to lose its strength and flexibility. The use of Chi enables a person tobecome stronger even as they get older.

The classes emphasize kihon (basics), kata (forms), and controlled kumite (sparring). Tenshin-kai offers many opportunities for training in addition to the regularly scheduled classes. each year the Grandmastedr brings students to Japan for special training. Seminars are also held at the dojo and offsite throughout the year.
