What is the
Rankin Okinawan Martial Arts Club?
The
Rankin Martial Arts Club (ROMA)
has been serving the Frederick county area since 1988.
Bill and Judy Rankin, who bring over 50 years of
combined experience to ROMA,
founded the club. The primary goal of
ROMA is to teach self-defense, integrity and
soundness of mind and body with proper emphasis on
control. The traditional arts are designed to help build
character and prepare the student for self-defense
situations as well as teach them how to avoid conflicts.
What is Offered?
Okinawa Uchuno
Shorin-ryu Karate is the combination of the ancient
style of 5 major Okinawa Shorin-ryu
arts and several of the Japanese/Philippians/Chinese
and Korean Martial Arts.
Classes are offered to
men, women and youth.
What is our
Program about?
Most people study the martial arts
for self-defense, self-discipline and self-confidence.
Other people study for health benefits. The
ROMA
programs teaches a very effective means of self-defense,
as well as an all around body conditioning
athletic activity. Considerable demands are made
on one's self-discipline, both physically and
mentally. The program is also very valuable for
character development. In short, the
ROMA Training Program
helps produce a well-balanced, self-confident
personality, able to avoid conflict but skilled to
defend when necessary. Karate is an ancient Okinawa art
of self-defense in which bare hands and feet are used
for protection. The term "Karate" when
translated means "Empty-hands".
Self-Defense techniques utilizing the body's natural
ability to defend itself is an integral part of our
program. All techniques use elbow locks, wrist locks,
shoulder locks, reverse hand locks, finger locks and
pressure points with takedowns. We try to use every
"streetwise" maneuver as much as possible. An excellent
workout for law enforcement officers.
ROMA
teaches our youth how to deal with today's social issues
with kindness, gentleness and respect. We want our
children to be safe-conscious and not afraid or paranoid
of their surroundings. Our methods of training do
not shock the youth but they do educate. We attempt to
deal with all issues to include rape awareness. We
use extreme tactful methods.
With the number of studios closing in the area and
across the United States, students worry about loosing
their rank when transferring to another school.
The Rankin Martial Arts Club
provides easy transfer without the loss of rank under
Black Belt. Any Black Belt
transferring will be ranked as a Brown Belt until they
have learned the methods/techniques
taught by the Rankin Martial Arts
Club.
Additional Educational Aspects
The Rankin Martial Arts Club provides
all students with education of human anatomy and
physiology. It is very important that all students
know the human body and how it reacts to trauma
inflected by another human.
