At Lutz/Land O Lakes Martial Arts, we are a family-owned and operated martial arts school. We offer a variety of classes, including traditional martial arts, sport karate, weapons classes, and an after school pickup program. As part of the World United Isshin-ryu Karate Association, we are proud to bring our community a place to learn and practice martial arts in a safe and fun environment.
What makes us special is the atmosphere we create for our students. Sensei James Stevens Jr., owner and lead instructor, has been practicing martial arts for 17 years and training students for 13 years. He embodies our commitment to providing a family atmosphere where our students are our priority. We welcome both beginners and experienced practitioners to join our school and begin their journey in martial arts.
Isshinryu karate is a practical system of Okinawan martial arts. This style has positions that are upward and mobile and designed to be quick. We focus equally on both arm and leg techniques. Isshin-ryu was founded by Tatuso Shimabuku in 1954 on the island of Okinawa. He was a student of Shorin-ryu and Gojo- ryu karate.
