Our Karate School
Our karate school welcomes students of all ages and abilities. We teach karate in a friendly atmosphere where respect, perseverance and mutual help are valued. We follow the teachings of grand masters Mas Oyama, Shigeru Oyama and Manny Matias. These teachings are at the core of the World Kanreikai Karate Organization.
Shihan Denis Cordeiro has been at the helm of our school since its beginnings in 1998. Along with his instructors, he is working incessantly to promote karate as a first rate fitness activity, a powerful tool for personal growth and an exciting competition sport.
