Let us unlock your child’s true character — all within a fun, safe, and bully-free environment.
Mike’s Ryukyu Kempo Karate & Kobudo offers structured classes, one-on-one attention, and a bully-free environment to unlock our youth’s true character and encourage their willingness to succeed.
We take a systematic approach, progressing from easy to hard at the student’s pace. We focus on instilling self-confidence in students, teaching them to set high goals, and helping them become the leaders of tomorrow.
TEACHING FOCUS & DISCIPLINE
Our structured environment recognizes hard work & a path to success.
Karate can greatly benefit young children by enhancing their focus and discipline. The structured environment of karate classes encourages children to pay attention and follow instructions, which can improve their capacity to concentrate in various settings.
Overall, it contributes to a positive mindset and a love for learning, supporting their growth in many areas of life.
IMPORTANT EARLY DEVELOPMENTAL SKILLS
We teach the skills your child needs to succeed.
Early engaging in karate can foster the development of various essential skills, such as coordination and motor skills, resilience, concentration, and consideration for others. Karate’s intricate techniques help promote problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Karate can also positively impact a child’s overall development, including their outlook on life, identity, relationship-building, academics, enthusiasm for learning, and general emotional, social, and physical well-being.
Discover the benefits of an Active Life
According to the CDC, kids averaged 6 to 9 hours of screen time a day in 2017. Nearly 4 to 5 of these hours are spent watching TV.
Nowadays, in addition to monitoring your child’s social circle and physical safety, you may need to consider the potential risks and negative impacts of video games, uncensored internet browsing, and excessive TV watching.
Karate enhances coordination and motor skills, promoting physical health and agility. Mastering karate’s intricate techniques cultivates problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. Moreover, karate serves as a holistic activity that supports emotional, social, and physical well-being, reducing idle behavior, and promoting a love for learning.
STRESS RELIEVER FOR TEENAGERS
Teens frequently encounter various significant obstacles that can have a lasting impact on their lives.
Fitting in, peer pressure, substance abuse, and navigating relationships can lead to harmful consequences and high levels of stress. Teens need a secure environment to learn and mature without fearing ridicule or teasing.
Our goal is to foster such an environment where teenagers can channel their emotions positively and interact with peers who share similar goals and values, learning the importance of respecting others while ultimately gaining respect for themselves.
YOUR TEENAGER’S POTENTIAL
Our focus is on bringing out the best in your teen.
Your teen is smart and creative, eagerly wanting to impress others. Our dojo gives your teen an upbeat place to express their excitement for martial arts and the self-gratitude of earning their achievements. Give your teen the creative recognition they need and the structure you desire.
EMPOWERING TEENS
We help teens gain the courage to overcome high-impact situations.
Karate encourages resilience and determination, allowing teens to push through challenges and setbacks. Additionally, karate fosters concentration and focus, which can translate into better performance in academics and other activities.
WE WANT YOUR CHILD TO SUCCEED!
We help to create students with the character, mental attitude, and self-confidence to make quick, sound decisions and, most of all, to be able to defend themselves beyond our dojo.

FAQS
My child won’t listen to me and now misbehaves at school. Can your dojo help?
Discipline starts at home. However, we can be a supportive extension as our students learn to respect authority and earn merit for their positive actions. In fact, kids enjoy our classes so much that parents use us as an incentive for good behavior.
My child struggles with paying attention and gives up easily. Is focus a part of your martial arts?
Unquestionably, “focus” is a huge part of our martial arts. Perfecting blocking and striking require complete concentration. A skill that can be used to handle distractions, exploit opportunities, and conquer life tasks by never giving up.
I noticed a decline in my child’s self-esteem, from being bullied. How can studying karate help?
By practicing karate, students can naturally develop their self-esteem and become more confident individuals who are less likely to be targeted by bullies. Our dojo provides a safe and supportive social environment where students can find their self-esteem while learning self-defense, too.
I want my child to do better in school. Will karate help to improve their grades?
At Mike’s Ryukyu Kempo Karate & Kobudo™, we prioritize the development of character, self-discipline, respect, self-control, and a drive for improvement. These skills are essential for achieving success. As a result, the majority of our students experience academic improvement and improved behavior in school.
Can karate help my child gain confidence in whatever they want to do?
Absolutely! Your child will have a proven system to train from, learning what it takes to be successful, growing more confident from accomplishing their goals, and learn to live humbly in their success.
My child isn’t physically coordinated but very smart. Is karate a good fit?
Yes! The potential of karate students is immeasurable, regardless of their abilities or coordination. Our martial arts system is designed to cater to the average person, with equal training for all and the freedom for students to learn at their own pace.
