Calculated and stealthy, Karate is a combat sport that integrates the philosophy of fair play. Never attack first - a rule strictly followed by teachers and students alike because Karate follows the way of justice. Its dojo orbits around spiritual humility and self-improvement, pushing the pupil to strive for both mental and physical excellence in order to perfect one’s character. 

Becoming a martial arts prodigy no longer seems like a pipe dream with our very own Karate class. Learn how to execute a roundhouse, axe, and crescent kick in correct form, all in a span of 90 minutes. Our class will train your body and mind to spar with noble intention and to act only within the confines of self-defense. Letting you adopt the mindset that you need not to win, just not to lose. 

No matter what the color of your belt is, our classes are open to everyone willing to be taught the discipline that is Karate. Coach Ian Jereos will be the one acting as your ‘Mr. Miyagi’ and will school you every Saturday and Sunday at 12:30 pm. Take note that Karate begins and ends with a bow, so have your gi wrapped nice and tight and head to PHO now!
