White Mountain Martial Arts
An eclectic "Shotokan Karate Dojo". We opened in Nov. '97
We are a spin off of White Mountain Shotokan Karate and of Sensei Mike Purcell
who moved away in "97. W.M.S.K. had been open for 15 years prior and at one
point in time had three schools operating in the area. (Sensei Purcell had been
trained by "Sensei Tatoski" of the Somerville, Ma. based "House of Samurai" a
landmark martial art school that operated for many years and served many
students). We operate as an independent club and try to carry on for Sensei
Purcell. Our style relies heavily on the three "K's" of Karate.
Kihon (drills, stances, techniques)
Kata (forms, pre-set self defense techniques that graduate in difficulty with rank)
Kumite (sparring, contact sport)
Our roots are Shotokan (kata's, basics, stances),we also have adopted techniques from other styles.
