OUR FOCUS


Our focus is to provide quality martial arts training experience, and to provide diverse programming with support of an entire community of people committed to physical and mental health.

A quick message from our Community:​

We are entering new times.  After working through the pandemic and witnessing the intense upheaval of the recent months, our center renews its commitments to social justice education and community building through the vehicles of cultural and martial arts.  Our mission is:

       1) To build confidence through knowledge, honesty, and physical strength

       2) To build a strong community through friendships and positive relationships grounded in sensitivity,  
                awareness and compassion.
