BKA provides a safe and welcoming atmosphere to all its students new, old and of all ages. The academy provides up to date techniques that are demonstrated in world karate competitions. Often guests from others countries and schools are welcomed and provide clinics with world level techniques to improve the academy and better train the students.

BKA breaks the traditional karate mold and strives to incorporate all types of martial art exercises and techniques that benefit BKA athletes in reaching their individual goals.

The BKA staff and instructors are very supportive with the parents questions and the concerns of the students. The instructors bring a wide variety of martial art talent and life experience that benefit the karate club as a whole. The results are always evident in the competitions and tournaments they all attend and they all support each other through and wins and losses in the hopes of striving to reach the same ideals.

Being a single parent, it’s nice to see my daughters have the confidence they get from karate, it is most evident when they have to make certain choices in high school. Being polite and respecting others and their space is also something karate has taught them. It’s nice to see them pass on lessons they have learned from their instructors down to other students as the years go by.
