Adult Martial Arts

Karate, Kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Strength. Skill. Confidence. For Real Life.

At Karate World Pawleys Island, adults of all ages and experience levels come together to train with purpose — not just to punch and kick, but to build lasting confidence, fitness, and practical self‑defense skills.

Our classes focus primarily on stand-up striking and self-defense, with only a small amount of ground work.

Karate / Kickboxing Classes

Our Karate and Kickboxing classes focus on developing striking fundamentals and total‑body conditioning. Students learn how to use effective punches, kicks, and knees with precision and control while building power, balance, and speed.

Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu Classes

Our Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu (BJJ) program focuses on grappling, ground control, and escapes, teaching you to remain calm and effective in close‑range scenarios. Students learn to control opponents with leverage and technique, not strength — an empowering skill for real‑world defense.

Classes are designed to challenge your mind and body while keeping a supportive and motivating atmosphere. Expect to:

  • Build functional strength through drills and partner training.

  • Boost endurance and flexibility with dynamic workouts.

  • Learn techniques that are practical, tactical, and applicable for self‑defense.

  • Gain mental clarity, confidence, and stress relief through focused training.

This isn’t just a workout — it’s training that transforms you from the inside out.

Every adult martial arts student at Karate World learns how to:

  • Defend against both standing and ground‑based attacks.

  • Build physical fitness through safe, effective training methods.

  • Develop focus, discipline, and confidence that translate into daily life.

  • Manage stress through mindful, engaging physical activity.

  • Push past limits and achieve new levels of strength and self‑mastery.
