Our motto is: “Earned Not Given,” and our students are hardworking martial artists.

We recognize that the Lord is responsible for all our gifts, talents and all that we have. Therefore, our teaching is done as if each student were our own family. We are not a militaristic style karate school and parents and students find our relaxed, yet structured, atmosphere refreshing.

Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, tournament fighting or confidence, Martial Arts can fill your needs. No other activity can give you the complete physical and mental training that Martial Arts teaches. You are never too old to start.
