The information included in our site is intended to help you make an educated decision without any bells and whistles to lure you in.
Our site, like our classes, is designed with your benefit in mind. We are in the true sense of the word a karate "school". Rather than simply repeating a technique 100 times in class, you will learn the inner workings of the technique so you, the student, are empowered with the confidence to practice and develop at your own pace.

For more than 45 years, Shihan Rusty McMains has been bringing the very best in martial arts instruction to the US and Canada. The Okinawa Karate Center UchinaaDiKan in Houston, Texas, has a long history of offering the most authentic Okinawa Goju-Ryu Karate-Jutsu, Kobu-Jutsu and Martial Science instruction found in North America.
No matter what kind of martial arts style you are interested in, many of them share the same physical benefits you find in commonly played sports. At the Okinawa Karate Center UchinaaDiKan in Houston, Texas, we know that the benefits of martial arts should reach beyond the physical and improve you psychologically and spiritually as well.
Since the introduction of Karate into the school systems of Japan more than a 140 years ago, the practice of Karate has been uniquely aligned with many character-building traits. This has led to what the martial arts industry has coined as the "karate selfs": self-confidence, self-control, self-discipline, self-respect and others.
While training in Karate will provide all students with similar benefits, adults have varying personal reasons for joining a dojo. It is most important to recognize that adults come from all walks of life, varied backgrounds and cultures, shapes and sizes. The ages of our adult students range from age 14 up to students in their 60's, including Kyoshi McMains.
Almost all martial arts studios offer some form of low cost, special introductory classes, and many times with a "free" uniform. These private or semi-private classes serve as 'sales sessions', taught by specially trained staff, all with the intent to steer you into making a decision they prepped you to make.

Excellent school. Authentic Okinawan Goju-Ryu. NOT SPORT KARATE...100% self-defense and martial science taught by one of the greatest to ever do it, Shihan Rusty Mcmains. You learn it all. To quote my husband, "This is not Cobra Kai or any of the stuff you see on TV. Warriors are made here so come prepared to learn."

This is a true Okinawan Karate school focused on teaching the students correctly at their own pace as opposed to a typical martial arts school that is focused on cash flow and pushing students thru their belt ranks at a pre-designated pace. The classes are small enough to provide each student with hands on training and the theory / reason behind each movement.
