We adhere to the principles of karatedo (the way of karate) by assisting the student in the development of integrity, sincerity, mutual respect, self-confidence, and self-improvement.
The dojo evolved in 2008 and continues to be supported by dedicated karateka (practitioners) and instructors. We are dedicated to quality instruction.
