Members of Northend Karate-Do are expected to attend a minimum of three classes a week. Classes cover instruction in karate-do including foundation techniques (stances, kicks, blocks, strikes), kata, rolls and falls, throws and displacement, self-defensive holds and releases, and movement. Soft skills are part of the curriculum, such as breathing, awareness, legal understanding and responsibility, and training concepts.

Students who show a desire are given opportunity to learn skills in calligraphy, bonsai, and philosophy.

Advanced students are given opportunity to continue their studies through the addition of techniques that require their developed skills, such as weapon self-defensive techniques, weapon kata, advanced kata, sparring, and multiple attacker self-defense.

All individuals considering becoming a student of the Sensei of Northend Karate-Do are urged to submit a request for an appointment for an interview. In this interview the perspective student is given the opportunity to speak directly with Sensei, visit the dojo, and express why they are interested in pursuing training in this defensive art. Sensei transmits the same material to each class but the method of delivery is specialized to the student demographic.
