with its students.
Buzz Durkin opened the school in March 1974. Our instructors know what it means to begin here: they earned their black belts through this dojo.
Today, that tradition lives in individual attention, purposeful practice, and a welcoming place to keep learning.

“Quite honestly, Kyle has been a dream son to us! We firmly believe that his start in karate and the life lessons that your dojo taught Kyle for his years he spent there, has been a huge part of his successes thus far! Thank you so much for helping Kyle to become a successful student and a highly respected individual in his school and his life so far!”
