At Karate America, our programs are second to none! We teach our students using a basic philosophy of positive reinforcement, which builds Self Esteem, Confidence, Discipline and Positive Values.

Our carefully designed programs for children of all ages will improve your child's performance in other sports as well as improving study habits and increasing overall concentration. In addition to this, by building self confidence, self respect and self discipline, we are helping young people deal with many problems they face growing up in today's world, including drugs, peer pressure and gangs.

Karate America offers programs for young people starting at age four in our "KinderKicker" program through our teen/adult program. You do not need to be an "athlete" or "jock" to get involved in the martial arts. All you need is desire and a willingness to work hard. You are measured against yourself, not others.

Our training methods emphasize positive reinforcement and encouragement, not intimidation and bullying. We believe that martial arts training can be fun, as well as physically and mentally rewarding.
