"Following the Martial Way is like
scaling a cliff — continue upwards
without rest. It demands absolute and unfaltering devotion to the task at hand."



We welcome students of all ages, beginning at age four. It's membership includes kids and adults, both male and female, dedicated to developing a healthy body, mind and spirit. The dojo fosters a sense of community and friendship among its karate-ka, who feel a sense of comraderie when training together. Working with Sensei Patrick, there are many highly trained members in the art of Kyokushin who help instruct the beginners.

Founder Sosai Mas Oyama reminds us that next to the black belt, the white belt is the most important of all in the life of the karate-ka. Our members wear their belts with pride and, above all, try their hardest at all times. This spirit and hard work is rewarded with quarterly belt testing and promotions. With dedication, the karate-ka's life can be changed forever, and the distance they go is limitless.

Work hard, train right. The Kyokushin Way.
