Karate STL

Since 1995


The purpose of karate training is to learn self-defense, self-reliance, respect (for oneself and others), and character enrichment.  Karate is emphasized as a martial art rather than a competitive sport.  Achieve confidence and practical expertise, without intimidation or hostility.  Safety is paramount!  Learning from and helping each other, as well as using skills effectively and with good judgment, is the true art of karate.

All ranks of active and inactive adult karate students, as well as youth students (ages 6 & older, yellow belt & above benefit most), are invited to accompany Sensei Basinger to the NTS.  This includes Karate STL's branch dojo -- The Arch Shidokan.
