Mixed Martial Arts York PA
Welcome to York Shotokan Karate & Mixed Martial Arts.
At York Shotokan Karate & Mixed Martial Arts, we believe in leadership, tradition and dedication. It’s our goal to teach the fundamentals of self-defense, while educating our students in the practices of peace of mind and perfection of character. We offer karate classes for kids, as well as, adult classes centered on more comprehensive self-defense disciplines, including Krav Maga, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Through a dedicated approach to learning and mastering the fundamentals of karate and other self-defense techniques, our students will improve their physical strength and stamina, achieve better overall health and fitness and grow stronger mentally. We believe that martial art training helps individuals to become well rounded, responsible and successful in all aspects of their lives.
We uphold the idea that a black belt is nothing more than a piece of fabric if it’s not complemented by personal growth, inner peace and self-confidence. For our students, the growth is in the journey, not in the reward.
