We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. Because of the Y, more young people in neighborhoods around the nation are taking a greater interest in learning and making smarter life choices. At the Y, children and teens learn values and positive behaviors, and can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their potential. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
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.
