Karate Center has been open since 1997, and has been under the instruction of Sensei Steve Duz since 2000. Karate Center is a proud member of the IOGKF which teaches traditional Okinawn Goju Ryu Karate-do, and allows students the opportunity to travel and train among a family of dojos around the world.

Our dojo offers classes for both children and adults in a friendly and supportive environment. We place a strong emphasis on teaching chidren those core values which will help them succeed in life, and pride ourselves on following the philosophy of "serious training for fun". Though we use the belt system, we understand that a belt only signifies the amount of time a person has been training. Ability and skill level, on the other hand, can only be measured by the amount of time and dedication one applies to one's own study. What you put into your training is what you get back.

Upon earning one's first color belt, students are presented with a badge of the dojo crest to be worn on the left side of one's gi (uniform) top. The crest is the symbol of the IOGKF (International Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karatedo Federation), an organization created by renowned Karate Master Morio Higaonna. The crest symbolizes a high set of international standards to which the bearer must uphold, as well as take pride in wearing.
