About Our Karate Lessons in Lake City, South Carolina
We provide traditional karate classes for kids and adults at our dojo (school). The other core programs include self defense instruction, strength and fitness, boxing, and MMA training (mixed martial arts). Our Karate lessons are geared towards traditional training, as well as realistic self defense, confidence building, and personal development. Family and group discounts are negotiable. We aim to provide the best karate training and martial arts instruction in the greater Florence county and Pee Dee areas of South Carolina!

The primary style taught at our karate dojo / school is Heiwado (the style of Japan International Karate Center). This traditional karate style emphasizes quick evasive movements and hard direct strikes, as well as development of the mind and body. For more, view Karate Style and Lineage Information, Free Karate Downloads, and Belt Examinations.
