We Train to get Home Safely
We cooperate as we learn how defend ourselves for real-life situations
Classes are geared toward adults and the way adults learn. You won't just learn the karate "moves"
-- you'll discover how to use these moves to defend yourself.
Classes are primarily taught by Roberto Curtis, 9th Dan, and Senpai Denise Coursey, 4th Dan.
We offer classes every day of the week to fit your schedule
