American Karate Studios helps our kids, men, and women become "Champions in everyday life" by providing a culture that fosters Love and Leadership!
Since 1970, American Karate Studios has been teaching people, of all ages, in the process of learning and practicing the martial arts as a tool for developing their Mental, Emotional, Physical and Character Life Skills to be a more complete, proactive, and empowered human being. In other words, living their best life! You see, this school stands for something far beyond blocks, kicks, punches, and
throws! Our motto is: "We are Creating Champions in Everyday Life Since 1970". We teach and instill Leadership qualities. Starting at a young age of 3 1/2, we believe that Leadership sets a person apart from others. It makes a Big Difference. You might say it's the difference that makes a difference in life. We consider ourselves an integral part of the village that help parents instill valuable character traits, beliefs, and habits in their children, such as: self-discipline, the ability to stay calm under pressure, the appreciation of teachers, parents, and other mentors, and the value of proper diet, exercise, and education in a happy and fulfilling life. For thousands of adults and young-adults, we have been -and continue to be -a place to refuel, recharge, and remember the value of keeping one's body fit, to keep the mind focused, and the spirit strong. Leadership helps develop these qualities that are seen by teachers, sports teams and the work place environment. We teach a brand of Self-Defense that transcends our physical "art" -and includes the self-defense skills of kindness, empathy, community, and compassion. Yet, our brand of physical self defense, with its Kenpo Karate base, incorporates Boxing, Ju-jitsu, Pressure Points and Filipino weapons to help make the individual feel safe, confident and a have a power unlike ever before. You are cordially invited to visit and/or be a part of our school; that is, if you are looking for something fun and extraordinarily engaging, interesting, and life-enhancing that is taught in a safe, friendly and supportive atmosphere. We are masters of making it easy to get started. We are experts at making the learning fun and exciting. And we are committed to being role models of honesty, customer service, and good old fashioned values.

In the early 1990's, we teamed up with Chuck Norris' "Kick Drugs Out of America" campaign. He was a great martial artist who became a movie/TV star. He inspired many to begin their journeys in Martial Arts. He was still practicing in his 80's! Rest in peace.

NOPE!
Now, for those of you who prefer corporate speak:
Due to the large accumulation of frozen precipitation, and the governors placement of a Level 2 Driving Restriction, AND to ensure the Safety of our students' families and our staff, there will be no classes. Essential STUDENTS are expected to perform their normal class duties of at least 500 blocks, strikes, kicks and punches. Essential PARENTS are hereby reminded of their duty to make cocoa, for themselves and any shovelers, PLUS, Soup, or, Mac- n- cheese, or chili, or all of the above. ALL Children over the age of 5 are expected to shovel snow for their own family, and that of a neighbor who faces challenges doing so. Then, after doing so, the children may proceed to make snowmen, snow forts, and engage in snowball fights (not to the face). This concludes the snow day notice
