The traditional style of Okinawan Uechi ryu karate and self-defense are taught by highly qualified Okinawan-certified instructors.

Separate classes are held for adults and children. Our students start as young as 4 1/2 years of age in the Tiny Tot Preschool class and progress on to our children's programs during normal transition.

WHY STUDY KARATE?

"There is no first attack in Karate."
This phrase embodies the essential spirit of Okinawan karate. Although karate is a martial art, it must be a defensive art from beginning to end. The focus of our program is not kicking and punching, as much as it is the development of a student's character.
