About
We teach a traditional style of Karate focused on the art of self-defense and discipline.
We have operated since 1963 and all classes are taught by fifth degree black belts or higher.
Enjoy teaching and helping people learn that subtle difference in the way they practice can make big improvments in their ability to defend themselves.
