About
We offer Traditional Okinawan karate. Our system is based on personal growth and self-defense. In 2003 we started teaching our style of karate at several community centers through the Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department. We grew really fast and became one of the most successful programs in Raleigh. Our program is special because we take the time to learn each student and help them grow based on their needs. We are not a tournament school and our curriculum is tough but very rewarding.
