Excellence in Martial Arts
Karate builds strength of body and mind. We focus on growing the whole person and applying the excellence we strive for in the dojo, to the rest of our lives.
Zanshin – the concept of the remaining mind – is a cornerstone of our dojo philosophy. In today’s world of distractions, never ending to-do lists, and stressors, it is important to maintain a centered and conscious mind to help with focus and decision making. Zanshin runs through all of our teachings on the mat, and off. It goes hand-in-hand with Shoshin – beginners mind – where we are all constantly learning and improving our karate and ourselves.
Our offerings include Seikukan Shorinji Ryu Karate-do, weapons training, self-defense, Women’s only classes, family classes, and Little Ninjas classes for those aged 5 to 7 years.
Find your Path
There is no single path in karate. From our Littlest Ninja to our most advanced adult, each student is unique and so is their journey. We offer a variety of classes and expert instructors who will help you find the perfect fit for you and your family.

Family Centered
Finally, an activity the entire family can enjoy together. We offer classes for children, teens, and adults. You choose to train together or separately, and we work with all skill levels and abilities.

Little Ninjas
We have created a class that helps a child grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. While building muscles, we build confidence; while balancing the body, we give tools to balance the mind; and while squealing in delight at our latest game, we are developing listening skills, respect, and teamwork.

Competition Team
The Seikukan Thunder Competition Team is open to all students. We focus on respect and etiquette that is such an important component of our Karate, while excelling at the exhilarating sport that is competitive karate.
Karate is a journey
Everyone’s reason for starting down the path of karate is different. We are here for fitness, mental and physical strength, discipline, growth, fun, and family. Where will your path lead you?
