Specialties
Our programs are tailored to all age groups and all levels. We accept students as young as 5 years old to senior citizens and it does not require any experience. More than 90% of our new students have no karate experience at all but transition by just following the fundamentals. We have a fun and friendly environment that students will find challenging but rewarding. Our programs are built on individual character development through the teachings of traditional Japanese karate. We emphasize self-discipline, respect, humility, and commitment. These values help to promote a learning environment so that we can produce quality students and respectful individuals throughout our communities. Karate, like any art form, is intricate and has many facets: self-defense, mental discipline, fitness, health, sport, and philosophy. Our programs are tailored to your needs and you will find our dojo welcoming and sincere.
