Welcome to Pan-American Karate Centers The study of the Martial Arts is one of the few activities that bring together the energy of both the mind and the body. Our mission at Pan-American Karate Centers (PKC) is to bring that energy together. Our professionally trained and highly qualified staff members provide the ultimate Martial Arts learning experience to our students. Practice of the Martial Arts at PKC will enable an individual, both children and adults, to focus and concentrate on achieving worthwhile goals and to meet life's challenges with total confidence and perseverance. Our schools offer a variety of Martial Arts programs for all ages What Makes Us Different? At PKC, we study and practice the martial arts with the intention of improving our own lives and not just physically, but in everything we do, and with everything (and everyone) we love and care for. We see this goal as a very authentic and relevant approach to personal "self-defense." We start studying and practicing in our studio, but it doesn't end there, as our quest is to take our training "out of the studio and into the world." To see how our instructor and our students are doing just that, please visit our studio's Project Portfolio. At PKC our curriculum goes beyond physical techniques, often including interesting writing and/or filmmaking projects, project-based leadership training, community service, and familiarity with methods of peaceful conflict resolution. As students progress they're certainly challenged physically, but the martial arts, like life, is so much more than just technique. If you're looking for something wonderfully creative, exciting, steeped in tradition, but relevant to the here and now, please come visit us! We are humbly and gratefully accepting new students! More than any other sport, Karate gives our children the chance to explore their innate powers. Marvel as they increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. This is only the start. Physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of value skills, both mental and spiritual.
