The Beverly Hills Karate Academy was founded by world famous martial artist Emil Farkas in 1970. Over the years, the Beverly Hills Karate Academy has taught thousands of students from children age 4 and up to adults as old as 85. The Academy's founder and Chief Instructor Emil Farkas, a 7th degree black belt, has been dubbed "The Sensei of the Stars" for the numerous celebrities he has trained.
He is noted for his patience and skill in teaching children, many of whom have received junior black belt rankings under his instruction. Sensei Farkas is also internationally recognized as an expert in practical street-effective self-defense. Having been a bodyguard for over 10 years, he knows from experience what works on the street and teaches only techniques that have "street effective" applications.

Before age 20 he had earned his black belt in both judo and karate. Having trained under such notable masters as Masatoshi Nakayama (karate) and Sumiyuki Kotani (judo), today he is one of America's most respected senseis and is internationally recognized as an authority on the martial arts. He is also a noted expert in realistic street combat, having worked as a bodyguard for many years.
At the Beverly Hills Karate Academy, instruction is available in traditional Shotokan karate. This Japanese martial art, founded by Gichin Funakoshi (Father of karate), teaches students the techniques of punching, kicking, blocking, evading, etc. Students begin as white belts and work their way through various colored belts to reach the coveted black belt.
What are the martial arts? A martial art ideally means any fighting discipline, either with or without the use of weaponry. Today the term martial art generally refers to the fighting systems that originated in Asia. Why do we bow in the martial arts? The bow is a traditional gesture of respect used in many of the Oriental martial arts.
