Mission
Our mission is to provide each and every one of our students with self-confidence, great health and fitness, discipline, and the skills needed to defend themselves and those who are unable to defend themselves. We will strive to teach our students to be successful in life through the practice of martial arts and to keep the lines of communication open between instructors, students, and their families to ensure that our dojos and instructors are constantly improving. We are committed to provide quality instructions and training to our students and to adhere to the oath, mottos, religious principles that will make us unique in the word of martial arts.
History
Many times I have stated that karate is more than just kicks, punches and katas, the backbone and foundation of any system is its history. Without history we are nothing but individuals who can perform certain skills, animals can be taught similar things but one thing they cannot do is convey history. It is an honor to have one amongst us that love to do research and provide us with history and that is Shihan Gregory Giovaniello. It is vitally important to stay abreast of the research and history that he provides to make us knowledgeable of who we are as martial artist. I want to personally thank Shihan Giovaniello for his hard work, dedication and commitment. OSU
As a resilient servant to truly understand your opponent we must first know ourselves and never think that karate is practiced in the dojo only.
