Under the instruction of Sensei Yasuaki Nagatomo, Japan Karate Association has been in operation since 1986.  Mr. Nagatomo teaches traditional Shotokan Karate.

Shotokan is a true Japanese style of martial arts, emphasizing discipline and self confidence in every student.  This form of karate focuses on self defense and avoidance of dangerous situations. 

Physical training is enhanced with the benefits of spiritual growth and personal achievement.

Japan Karate Association offers over twenty classes a week for people of all ages and all types of conditioning.  Students learn self defense techniques and build their confidence while getting great exercise.

An added bonus is that parents are allowed to participate in their child’s class, making karate a wonderful family activity.
