ONLY 2 WEEKS AWAY!

We are counting down to a great morning of traditional karate at Pinnacle Martial Arts!

On Saturday, September 12, we are honored to welcome Mr. Lucky Phillips, Hachi Dan, 8th Degree Black Belt, for a special three-hour seminar focused on the kata and waza of Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu Koeppel-Ha.

This is more than simply practicing techniques. We will study the concepts and principles that give the techniques meaning, and look at how those ideas can be applied in our karate.

CONCEPTS. PRINCIPLES. TRADITION.

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

211 N. Main St., Rushville, IN
$40 per person
Open to ALL ranks. Ages 12 and up.

KARATE IS NOT JUST FOR KIDS.

At Pinnacle Martial Arts, children, teens, and adults train in a friendly environment built on confidence, discipline, respect, and self-control.

For children, karate can improve focus, listening skills, coordination, and confidence.

For teens, it provides positive direction, physical fitness, and a place to belong.

For adults, it offers practical training, stress relief, improved fitness, and a meaningful personal challenge.

You do not need previous experience. You do not need to be in great shape before you begin. You only need to be willing to take that first step.

Pinnacle Martial Arts has proudly served Rushville and the surrounding communities for more than 30 years. We teach serious traditional karate in a school where every student is known, encouraged, and expected to grow.

Classes are available for:

Children ages 5-9
Juniors ages 9-14
Adults ages 14 and older
