OUR DOJO

This is the headquarter (Hombu) dojo for Japan Karate-Do Organization (JKO), which teaches a traditional style of karate known as Shito-Ryu. It is one of only four major styles recognized world wide. Hanshi Minobu Miki is the first 8th degree black belt outside of Japan. He learned karate directly from Kenzo Mabuni, who was the son of the founder of Shito-Ryu, Kenwa Mabuni.

Our students are encouraged to attend tournaments and be a part of our elite competition team. The organization in which we compete in is the United States of America National Karate Federation (USANKF). It is the sole organization which is recognized by the US Olympic Committee.
