While we would Love to have you join our Karate Family, we understand selecting the correct school is an Important Decision. With that in mind we recommend you read the book, "Why Martial Arts Matter" for the important things to consider when selecting the correct school for you, or your family. If you have questions about Martial Arts that nobody seems to know the answers to, after reading this short book it will give you a greater understanding making you more knowledgeable and answering the questions you are looking for (even the ones you never thought to ask). This way you will have a profound understanding and the confidence in finding the correct school for you! (Even if it’s not with us!!!)
