Serious training, humble people
Full-contact karate is demanding, and we treat it with respect. Our culture is no-ego: students bow in, work hard and look after one another, whether they are nine or forty-nine.

Every belt is earned, twice a year
Each spring and fall we hold a belt-grading ceremony. Students demonstrate what they have learned, families come to watch, and the whole dojo celebrates the work behind every new belt. Progress is steady, honest and earned.

Simple monthly tuition, built for families
One student is $95 a month. Two students are $160 a month, so brothers, sisters, parents and kids can train together. Every new student starts with a free two-week trial, so you can feel the dojo before you commit.
