Hello and Welcome To All Martial Arts Enthusiasts:

I'm Grand Master Ralph Chirico, 10th degree black belt, and Head of the Isshin Shorin Ji Ryu Okinawa Te System. Throughout my 45+ years of experience in the martial arts, I have helped thousands of children, teenagers and adults become champions -- not only in karate but also in life! Thus, earning the dojo the nickname "House of Champions" amongst our peers in the martial arts world and in the communities we serve.

Whether you're seeking a fun and exciting activity to further bond your family together or a truly electrifying self-improvement experience, Chirico's School of Karate features classes for students of every age!

I personally invite you, to give yourself and your family the gifts of a healthier lifestyle, increased confidence, greater focus, and good sportsmanship - keys to success that you'll see reflected not only in the training area, but also in the classroom and workplace. Each energetic class will condition your family physically and mentally - improving coordination, fitness, and stamina while sharpening concentration, discipline, and awareness skills.

Your child will develop the focus and motivation needed for better academic performance.

Your teen will experience a sense of pride to stand up for what is right, even when faced with conflicting peer pressures.

You will find that proper martial arts training allows you to advance at your own pace, handle daily stress, and feel years younger.

"Learning martial arts will help you regain your flexibility, increase your stamina and improve your overall health quickly. But that's just the beginning. You will also learn how proper breathing and meditation can eradicate stress from your life. How to improve your concentration, self-discipline and attitude so you perform better at work and live life to the fullest." ~ Kevin Holton, DC, 7th degree black belt

Don't You Owe It To Your Child To Protect Them From Being Bullied At School And Guide Them Toward Success In Academics And In Life?

How excited would you be to see your child become more confident and self resilient in just 30 days from now? What would that be worth to you?

How pleased would you be to see your child's grades improve because nasty kids at school no longer distract him or her? Or, because your child has learned about discipline, respect, and has learned how to focus, set goals and achieve them. Don't you want to see them perform better?

Wouldn't it be great to see your child make more friends, and have more fun at school, because you helped them get rid of bullies or stopped them from becoming a bully themselves?

How proud would you be to see your child become a champion, not only in karate, but also in life?

Don't you owe it to your child to teach them how to stand up for themselves and handle conflict, so they can lead the best life possible?

Martial arts instruction not only teaches self-defense, it provides a total body workout adaptable to any age. We offer the most effective martial arts/self defense and fitness program for adult men and women of all ages.

The physical benefits of Martial Arts Training are obvious-you can see the changes in the mirror. You will see changes in your physical appearance, cardiovascular condition, and overall strength as you develop power and technique to defend yourself and the lives of your loved ones.

I'm living proof, I'm over 70 years old - and I bet you if you saw me in person, you wouldn't believe it! But I am.

I still train and work out with the class unlike other karate instructors who just sit around, collecting your money.

When you look great, you feel great…resulting in a level of confidence that makes you unstoppable!

The mental benefits you will receive, perhaps even more important than the physical benefits of martial arts training, will be "seen" in your attitude and character.

To Your Success, Your Health & Well-Being,
Grand Master Ralph Chirico
