Our mission is to provide unparalleled excellence in the instruction of full contact Japanese Karate such that it empowers people to discover and ultimately master themselves both on and off the mat. We accomplish this by maintaining traditional karate instruction in the environment that is rich in inquiry, innovation and the integration of cutting edge somatic and western movement sciences. 

We teach kata (forms) in both empty hand and traditional weapons (bo staff, tonfa, nunchaku and sai). We train our students in the skills and practices of self defense and controlled sparring. Our dojo is family oriented, diverse and deeply connected to the community through our relationships with schools and residents.
