Shiya-Do Karate (way of the mind) is an American hybrid martial art with Japanese roots. Shiya-Do is a practical, modern martial art which harmonizes traditional, sensible, efficient, self-defense maneuvers. Shiy-Do karate is considered a "thinking" style as it recognizes contributions and input from other systemized styles of self-defense. At Evolutionary Martial Arts the focus is primarily on striking (punches, kicks, elbows, knees, chops, blocks, and stances) but does mix in elements of pure self-defense, fitness, with minor amount of gymnastics, yoga, and grappling to create a well-rounded fighter/individual who is ready to combat the challenges that life has to offer!
