Location & Costs Class Schedule Instructors

Oakstrong’s karate instruction employs various formats to teach skills – basic techniques, multi-technique combinations, movement training, traditional forms, and free sparring in a safe and noncompetitive environment.

Beginners are always welcome – classes are on-going – you can enroll at any time. Your first class is free. There is no need for a special uniform or equipment, just a curious nature and a desire to learn. All techniques are explained and demonstrated to help students at every skill level achieve and enjoy.

In each class you will see, hear and practice the physical and energetic aspects of Tang Soo Do karate that display the art and enable the potential to generate and transmit qigong energy. Self-defense strategies and techniques are integral in every class. Often we include weapons training.

Classes are small for personal instruction, and the other students form a wonderful support system and community. Classes are open to men, women and serious young adults.

Each type of class follows a standardized basic-to-advanced curriculum that provides the opportunity for you to learn and grow at your own pace and ability. Curriculum is comprehensive from beginner to black belt and beyond. Along the way you will gain confidence, strength, and in no small way make it possible to defend yourself.

“After training with Oakstrong Martial Arts for just over 8 months I have gained a new level of self respect, confidence, strength and the wonderful feeling of being more centered and connected.”

Wendy L. – Scotts Valley

“I can’t say enough great things about Oakstrong Martial Arts and I highly recommend anybody who is thinking about learning a martial art, to contact Neville. I promise you, you won`t find a better teacher and mentor.”

Philip L. – Santa Cruz

“Neville achieves a great balance of introducing the formality of the art, but while teaching in an accessible manner. His instruction and approach and personal patience have been incredible.”
