Over the years, it has been systemized and developed for training both mind and body. A mastery of karate does not depend as much on one's physical condition as it does on one's practice and desire. Our style of karate emphasizes speed and movement rather than brute force. Classes are taught by Sensei Steve Will, a fifth degree black belt in Matsubayashi Ryu Karate-Do, who is in his seventeenth year teaching for Clinton Township.
