Explore Train togetherOur story
Traditional Uechi-Ryu karate, personal instruction, and a community that welcomes the next beginner.

Buzz Durkin began studying Uechi-Ryu in 1966 and opened our school in March 1974. His study connects our school with Okinawan karate traditions.
The practical work is personal: developing physical skills, focus, confidence, and respect through steady practice.

This historical identity is preserved from the existing public website. It is not a claim that 2026 is the school’s fiftieth year.
