Meet Our Instructors
Our karate classes are led by Jared Blake, a Black Belt with over 20 years of teaching experience! He is joined by his daughter, Sensei Keira, who brings energy, skill, and a passion for helping students grow in confidence and ability.
This dynamic program draws from multiple martial arts disciplines, including Kenpo Karate, Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, and Jujitsu. Students benefit from increased physical fitness, improved focus, and the development of essential life skills like discipline, respect, and perseverance.
