About
We teach authentic Okinawan Karate (Shorinryu) and Ryukyu Kobujutsu (Okinawan Weaponry) directly from Okinawa. We have affiliations and have obtained ranking from organizations / instructors in Okinawa, Japan. Our senior instructors are a husband and wife team which really brings the family aspect to our dojo also.
Teaching karate is our passion not our living. You won't find many dojos where the instructors are as knowledgeable and as passionate about teaching the martial arts.
