In accordance with quarantine regulations, YSK's physical location is open on a limited basis. Call or email our office for more info!. Shudokan Karate-Do is an Okinawan style of karate with a strong focus on practical self defense, sustainable lifelong training, and on cultivating community. The founder of Yakima School of Karate, Morris Mack, passed on a deep and abiding passion for the martial arts to his students.
The information below is organized by rank, with a section dedicated to drills and techniques for all students, as well. The links for each section will take you to our private Youtube channel and the playlist for your class. If you don't see a link yet, please be patient. It's on the way! You can browse the content and use it to practice your techniques.
Sensei Morris Mack impacted the lives of thousands through the martial arts. In 1961, Sensei Mack founded his first dojo in Gleed, Washington. A modest affair, the Gleed dojo produced numerous legendary stories of the intense training that went on there. It was there that Sensei Mack began to realize that martial arts could be about more than punching and kicking, it could be an avenue for the development of one's character.
By the time a student has reached black belt, they have spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours in the dojo (studio). Training in karate is not only a physical endeavor, it is a mental, moral, and emotional one as well. These elements derive from a common foundation in Japanese martial arts, Do (the way).

Over 60 years of teaching and comradery welcome you at the door and invite you to learn the honorable martial art of Shudokan Karate. Before sensei Nathan could finish his tour I knew I would return to learn from him, as the walls we passed radiated with the same passion for the art that he exuded with every word. No matter your age, if you have ever hoped to learn Karate I implore you to come and visit. You will not regret it.

Proud practicioner of Shudokan karate, learned all I know about patience, teamwork, how to find my center, meditation, ninjutsu, karate culture, death/ incapacitation blows. Just what this town always needed. Until we meet on the plain of enlightenment, rest well, Morris Mack. -Ken Jones

This school is horrible! Under the watch of Mr. Mack, I was not allowed to try for my black belt because of me being transgendered. They do not fully practice what they preach! They even tried to get me to sign a contract to not tell anyone about myself or use my legal name. This was an extremely hard blow to me after working so hard to get toward my black belt. I lost my karate family AND respect for them.
