About
At North Peoria Karate Academy, we train to be comfortable in any self-defense situation whether it be standing, up close and personal, or on the ground. In order to accomplish this, our instructors have trained in various Martial Arts and have incorporated these techniques into our training program. We do NOT practice any sort of impractical type of techniques that are found in some styles that mimic gymnastics (flips, etc..). These are often referred to as simply "flashy techniques" that are used in movies, demonstrations, etc.. Although some of these techniques may work, the risk outweighs the potential benefit.
We maintain a clean, healthy, family atmosphere that encourages all members of our community to participate. There is no judgment within the walls of our dojo (training hall), and everyone is asked to do THEIR personal best. We strive for personal growth, and encourage and assist students to do the same.
For those interested in competition, our instructors have held numerous State, Regional, National, and International championship titles.
