Welcome to our Dojo.
What each person needs, and wants, from karate is different, as such, we welcome a diverse collection of perspectives. There are several black belts that assist in training. Also, past Senseis will periodically return to teach seminars based on our traditional background blend of Chito Ryu and Shotokan Karate, as well as new learning from more modern forms of self defense. We are always learning so that we can help you learn with us.
