Studying  Karate is many things to different people. It is a sport, an art, a discipline, a recreational or social activity, a fitness program, a means of self-defense or combat, and a way of life. Karate is unique in that all age groups, genders, and most people with disabilities can participate together in learning and practicing the art. Karate is an inexpensive, year-round activity, which appeals to people from all walks of life. Our student body varies in age, background, and experience.  No matter your background, you'll find yourself at home at the Martial Arts Center. 

 The Martial Arts Center is a place where people come first.  While technique is important, and we have high standards for our students, what is most important to us is that your martial arts journey is a good one.  This has won us the hearts of the people of Niagara. The Martial Arts Center has received many 'Reader's Choice' awards over the years.  In our dojo, you'll learn more than just punches, kicks, and self-defense.  We believe, as traditional training dictates, that you must train more than just your body, you also need to train your mind.  Karate training will help you refine your self-confidence, self-discipline, and positive attitude.
