The Karate Center of Walla Walla was founded in 1992 by Shihan Dave Lybbert and is an award winning gym. We have skilled instructors and pride ourselves on being family friendly. We teach traditional Shotokan Karate-do: "the way of the empty hand". Our view of Karate is one of well roundedness. We teach the fighting and self-defense aspect of Karate as well as the spiritual and philosophical benefits of Karate-do.
We believe that every children is important. We use the techniques of positive reinforcement to create an atmosphere of compassion. We help our young students develop great self-esteem, confidence, communication skills, positive attitudes, and understand the value and rewards of hard work. And yet, we never forget to laugh and have fun.
