Welcome to BKA Online!
Our Mission: To teach martial arts to people of all ages for the purposes of promoting fitness, building confidence, developing social skills and work ethics, and learning practical self defense. Stop by any of our classes to observe our students in training at the dojo. Or, try a free week of classes to see if we fit your needs!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT, 2/25/08

Tonight we will be having our final classes. BKA will be relocating over the
next 2-3 months. We will inform all BKA families of the details of our
new location and reopening date. We will also post these details here.

BKA sincerely thanks students, family and friends for the successes
we've all accomplished over the past couple years. In the meantime,
we encourage our students to continue to train and grow at
Pelletiers Dojo or Bennett's Dojo.

For Starters|Advice for Beginners from Senpai Donna
Many people think that you have to be in great physical shape to study the martial arts, but this is not true. Although studying Karate can greatly improve your physical and mental health, being a star athlete is not a prerequisite. In fact, many top martial artists did not begin to study until after the age of 30, including myself.

When I first began taking Karate lessons a few years ago, I couldn't kick above my waist. Now I can kick above my head and am in the best shape of my life! I have also earned two black belts, competed in several tournaments including a World Championship in Japan in 2004 and opened this school.

The great thing about the system that I teach is that each person trains at their own pace and within their own abilities. You will learn how to listen to your body and utilize your own personal strengths. Whether you are 2 or 102, training at BKA is a fun, relaxing way to get in shape, stay in shape, and learn to defend yourself and much more.
