Fun Friday: Karate

Fun Fridays offer a refreshing mid-day break from work to indulge in physical, mental, or creative activity.

In this session, Sensei Lucia covered the traditional Uechi Ryu Karate, a system of self-defense that develops total body awareness, control and confidence. The class focused on thoughtful movement, stances, balance, blocks, kata, strikes and other techniques, as well as having a fun cultural experience.

Facilitator: Noah Lucia has been studying martial arts under the watchful eye of his father Duane Lucia for over 35 years. After graduating from college in 2008 he went on to Japan to teach English for a brief period before returning and assuming the role of owner and lead sensei of his family’s karate school, Boston Budo. He’s also now carrying on the family tradition by teaching his two young daughters karate.
