Our Expert Instructors
Led by Sensei John Laracuente, our staff is dedicated to maintaining the highest quality coaching in everything we do. We bring decades of experience to each and every lesson, offering you the best blend of traditional martial arts skills like Korean Karate and modern-day forms like self-defense and gymnastics-based movement.
Our Core Values
Our goal each and every day is to make high-level martial arts training accessible to everyone. From the minute you walk through our doors, we're working hard to help you feel comfortable and confident. From day one, we're committed to helping you learn one step at a time and walk away with a sense of accomplishment that can't be matched.
Our Mission
Our mission is to motivate and inspire students from all walks of life and with all ranges of physical ability. We welcome and have experience working with children with spectrum disorders, anger management and more. We encourage students to remember that at some point, we were ALL beginners.
