Karate John’s Martial Arts Center

Karate John’s Martial Arts Center in Liverpool teaches karate with a strong focus on young people. Its stated aim is to build confidence and self-esteem in students, using student leadership training to get there. That emphasis puts as much weight on character as on kicks and blocks.

Putting leadership alongside karate suggests a school that cares about character as much as technique. Liverpool is a village on the shore of Onondaga Lake just north of Syracuse, an easy trip for families across the northern suburbs.
