WELCOME!
In addition to being a very practical and effective form of self-defense, karate is an excellent way to develop speed, power, balance, flexibility, and coordination, which will carry over into other aspects of your life.
We practice a traditional form of karate called Matsubayashi-ryu (literally, the “Pinewoods Style”), also known as Shorin-ryu. It comes from Okinawa, the birthplace of karate.
A karate training hall is called a dojo. Our dojo is affiliated with the World Matsubayashi-ryu Karate-do Association (WMKA), which is headquartered in Okinawa but has branch dojo all over the world. It is particularly strong here in Ohio.
We hope you will enjoy training with us in a safe, supportive, and mutually respectful environment.
