Thank you for visiting our website that was established to provide visitors information on our traditional Japanese Shotokan karate-do program located in Central Pennsylvania. Our karate program is multi-dimensional in that it's designed to teach individuals regardless of age or gender empty hand self-defense in a safe environment. We place a strong emphasis on respect and self-control, traditional values found in traditional Asian martial arts. Our members will face both physical and mental challenges studying shotokan karate-do, but in the process of learning they will become better human beings. Shotokan karate training will make you as an individual better physically fit, kinder, more patient; while at the same time you will have fun and challenging opportunity to learn empty hand self-defense. 

One of the main reasons for studying a martial art is the development of a healthy mind and body. This can only be accomplished by training on a regular and systematic basis in a disciplined environment under an experienced instructor. A committed student regardless of age who trains on a regular basis in time will develop and show definite improvement both physically and mentally. The results will be obvious in increased self-confidence, improved concentration, physical fitness and awareness while at the same time developing self-defense skills. Children that learn the art do not normally develop into a “bully”. Quite the contrary, regular karate training teaches individuals to avoid confrontation and ultimately become better citizens.
