One of the most fun seminars of the year, be sure to catch this one!

Our next test is on July 15th. Take advantage of the summer time weather and get a little extra practice in the sunshine! Don't forget about our DVD Curriculum, it covers everything from White Belt to Black Belt!

There are a few spots left in the August Karate Camp! Camp is a great way to make up for lost classes! One week of camp is equal to about 25 karate training sessions. We have an Obstacle course day, Weapons Sparring day, Choreographed Self-Defense day among other activities like dodge ball and the "Tower of Terror." Please see the front desk to register!
