Introduction: My name is Michael Buelow. Experts say that 97% of everything you need to know to keep you and your family safe has nothing to do with kicking and punching. I primarily teach personal safety. I also teach karate and some traditional weapons. I provide private and small group lessons in my home, scheduled at your convenience. I teach anyone over the age of 13 years. This includes the elderly and infirm, the young and bullied, and people with a variety of disabilities. My classes are different from any martial arts school that I know of. I teach prevention, observation, avoidance, and escape. I don't just teach fighting. Current Martial Arts students will benefit from these classes, too.

It has been a pleasure working with Michael Beulow, the proprietor and instructor of Simply Karate. I contacted Michael because he advertised private classes for seniors and folks with disabilities. I don't often admit it, but I am both. And Michael adjusted his instruction for my specific abilities/needs. I must admit that I didn't really take karate classes because I felt the need to protect myself. I primarily wanted to learn the mental part of karate. But I now have a better understanding of how to analyze my surroundings and how to defend myself, both verbally and physically, should the need ever arise. I've taken one-hour private lessons for a month now - sometimes once a week and other weeks, twice. For one-on-one instruction, I've never experienced better. And, I have found Michael's instruction style (both kata practices and general discussions about safety and mental preparedness) is an excellent (and economical) way to learn karate. My walking sticks are now more than just a way to maintain balance. I now know how to use them for protection should the need ever arise.

Michael helped me learn a walking stick kata that was designed to enable me to use the stick to defend myself. He showed me each step and patiently guided me over time on how to do the entire sequence. It was a pleasure working with him.

Michael displays not only the qualities listed above, but is patient, adaptable to disabilities, creative and encouraging. He remains calm, and always has kind words for his students. He also offers something unique in the martial arts world. I would encourage those wanting learn to call Michael - you will not be disappointed!
