Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a place where you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with friends through our lifelong learning programs, or bringing your loved ones closer together through our many family-centered activities. At the Y, it’s not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside.

Karate

Since 1985, Master Alvin Harold, a 5th degree black belt, started his training under Master Dennis Holland, who trained under our founder in 1963 in Tokyo, Japan. Master Harold has expanded our program to include Judo, Aikido, Okinawa weapons and Japanese Swordsmanship. Our teaching, training methods, dojo, and our exceptional teaching staff, Tim Collins (1st Dan) and Jessie Collins (Junior Brown belt children), set us apart from other Martial Arts schools.
