Karate America FAQs

This is a very important concern. At Karate America, we stress to each and every student that they are never to misuse their martial arts. As a matter of fact, every student in our academy must keep this promise or they are asked to leave. At Karate America, it is our goal to instill excellent character qualities, including; patience, control, and self-discipline.

Karate America is a non-traditional school. While we still uphold the traditions of honor, integrity, honesty, and many of the physical techniques, we do not require that our students bow to a foreign flag, or count in a foreign language. We are an American martial arts academy.

We are a leadership and life skills academy. Our focus is on confidence, self discipline, and becoming leaders. Karate America does not paint dragons on their windows, bow to idols or flags, etc.

Most of our Karate America students will attend 2 days per week, for 30 minute classes. We also have a bonus class on Saturday.

Karate America's roots are in Tae Kwon Do. Over the years we have decided to add other aspects of the martial arts into our classes to better serve the needs of our students. Imagine if children could only learn math in school. Would they be prepared for life? At Karate America, we have taken the best aspects from Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Jiu Jitsu (wrestling), boxing, kick boxing, Judo, and Aikido, and formed them into a curriculum that is fun and exciting for our students. This is one of the main advantages of the Karate America system.
