Our Karate Class is a certified branch of the Kyokushin organization, which is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

The ultimate goal of martial arts is to build character and to improve the person. The path to that goal begins with learning to discipline the body and later the mind.

Classes will emphasize self-discipline and responsibility while developing strength, flexibility, balance and thinking, skills. Practical self-defense will be taught while incorporating karate and boxing techniques.
