Glasco Karate is an officially recognized branch (shibu) dojo of the Okinawan Goju-Ryu Kenkyukai (research society) under the tutelage of Sensei Masaji Taira. We are one of only a few dojos in the United States to hold this title, and it is a great honor. The Kenkyukai has branch dojos all over the world.
Our students have the opportunity to travel and learn Goju-Ryu from some of the finest instructors on the planet. Students are welcome to attend as few or as many classes as their schedule permits. We require no contracts, but offer discounts for students who are ready to make a longer-term commitment.

About Us
Report
Our karate curriculum is suitable for all ages 5 and up, building strength, technique and confidence. We have an excellent children's program, but we are not a "karate-based day care". We teach real techniques for real life based on kata (forms), bunkai (analysis of the forms, performed with two people) and kiso kumite (fighting drills and counter attacks) in a safe environment.
Classes for Kids
Report
All students progress at their own pace, we do not test on a set schedule. It can take anywhere from 3 years to several years to achieve the rank of junior black belt. Our children's classes are fun, challenging, and the skills and discipline the students learn help them in other areas of their lives.
