Mr. Shaw (semi-retired) and Mr. Powell (current owner) are very skilled and patient martial artists. This school is family oriented with students from ages 7 to 70+. If you are looking to learn self defense or want a workout to get in shape, Mr. Powell can help you with both. Mr. Shaw is always motivating students to reach and surpass their goals. The dojo (school) is one big family with everyone working together to improve. Excellent Karate School!!

Reviews
Great dojo to learn the craft and skillset, as well be exposed to a more authentic experience versus most commercialized karate businesses. Shaws Karate truely cares about each member and establishing a strong community of support for one another. Recommened for all ages!
I started at Shaw's about 4 years ago and I have had such a great experience. I have met some of my best friends there and I have had the honor of getting to know both Mr. Powell and Mr. Shaw. I just got my Purple belt yesterday.
This is not just a place where you punch and kick, this is a family.
