Twinsburg Karate Institute

The Twinsburg Karate Institute is a safe, family-oriented, environment where children, teens, and adults can learn martial arts.

Training at the Twinsburg Karate Institute will help you develop martial arts and self-defense techniques that will serve and protect you for a lifetime.

Our focus, however, is to develop life skills in our students that will build character, respect, discipline, and responsibility. From the moment that you or your child walks in the door, responsibility for their actions and respect for others will begin, and continue well outside our dojo. We challenge ourselves and our members to begin a journey to be better students, better citizens, and better people.

We encourage you to join us in our quest.
