Our skills-based training programs are designed to provide students with a comprehensive fitness solution. Unlike most gym workouts, which focus on either cardiovascular OR strength training, martial arts workouts are designed to condition your whole body. Along with improved cardiovascular and muscular fitness, students reap another crucial benefit: advanced flexibility training.
Stretching and flexibility, a frequently overlooked component of fitness, are not only critical to overall fitness, but are also a key to avoiding injury. Any student enrolled in a fitness program, who wishes to switch to a karate program where they may obtain rank need only tell their instructor. Adults are Naturally Goal Oriented (They know that if they learn, practice and perform well that they may be rewarded with belt promotion).

Attaining the Orange Belt is the first major milestone for our students. Being the first belt, the students learn tha basics of the Kenpo style. Although we say "basic" one should not underestimate the effectiveness of these moves. Our best Black Belts use these same moves with blinding efficiency and perfecting them is key to attaining the higher ranks.
A private lesson usually consists of the basic combinations and katas required for promotion to the next belt, drills to perfect different techniques, and some sparring if needed. We say "usually" because since it is a personal training session, the instructor is free to concentrate on any weaknesses in any given area that the student might possess.
Two words - PRIVATE INSTRUCTION. We offer a weekly private lesson by a Black Belt Personal Trainer. This is INCLUDED in the tuition. If you would like to compare us with other personal trainers, you will find that most are charging about $75.00 PER HOUR. Not only do you get a private 1/2 lesson every week scheduled at your convenience, any student can attend as many group classes as they want to.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Highly recommended. I studied there as a teenager in the 90s and learned confidence and discipline. The owner Bob Mauro is an amazing teacher and allowed me to learn how to push through anything, which I still utilize today. If you’re looking for a great karate academy this is the place!!!

This is an excellent place to go if you want REAL martial arts training. Their combination of group and private classes are unmatched and at affordable pricing when you compare to other gyms. The owner is a consummate professional and this place has the accolades to boot! Great for karate/MMA. Would definitely recommend!

My father signed me up At US Karate Academy in 1990. I am still going there to this day. For the same reason my father was drawn to the school, I am. Bob Mauro is committed to the personalized and individualized instruction of each and every one of his students. Every instructor is knowledgeable and equally as committed to the advancement of their student's martial arts education. Because of this personalized attention, US Karate has become a place to learn self-defense, stay fit, and be part of a close-knit family!

Have trained several disciplines prior (jujitsu aikido and wrestling), has polished my martial arts education. Started as a gym and became a family, taught me self discipline, respect and so much more. Alot of individual attention, students don't get "lost" there. The instructors there take students progress personally...
