Martial arts is so much more than learning how to fight. It is exercise, sport, self-defense and character development. At American Family Karate we take the Family part seriously.

We are a veteran-owned, woman-owned, family-run small business martial arts school dedicated to empowering our students to achieve their fullest personal potential by training in reality-based self-defense, stand up & ground fighting, while developing the character tenets of AFK.

We want our students to understand that character is important and develop the integrity to be future community leaders. Community service is integrated in our program. A recent kick-a-thon raised over $15,000 for a local community center.

While competitions are not our focus, students are very well-rounded and have the opportunity to compete locally, nationally, and internationally! In 2023, we had two of our instructors represent the United States of America as members of the winning United States Sport Jujitsu Team at 2023 CAN-AM International tournament, winning Gold for the US. Team AFKJ took 31 students to compete at the ASJL National Championship Tournament and return with 60 medals. Sensei Teagan and Sensei Kyle won tournament Grand Champion in Sport Jujitsu.
