- Young's Karate has been in operation in Jacksonville Florida since 1986.

- We offer a wide scope of martial arts training.  

- Our base system is Shotokan Karate, but we incorporate many styles and systems into what we teach.

- We teach techniques from many systems.  Our Senseis are ranked in several styles and have had extensive training in many other styles.  These styles and systems include, but are not limited to Shotokan karate (our base style), Ryukyu Kempo as taught by Hogan Karate International, Isshinryu Karate, Tae Kwan Do, Small Circle Jujitsu, Jujitsu, Judo, Ground Fighting, and Modern Arnis.

- We offer Tai Chi for Osteoporosis, as taught by Dr. Paul Lam.

- If you have trained in another style, we welcome you to train with us and wear what ever rank you have earned.  That does not mean you are ranked in our system, you will still be required to cross train into our system.  It means you earned a rank in another system and we recognize that rank.

- We offer a free trial period.

- We have small classes with only two or three students for each black belt instructor.

- We operate our school in a Christian, family oriented manner.

- We offer very low rates because we have almost no overhead, thanks to Trinity Baptist Church.  Don’t equate the cost of training to the quality of training you receive.  Many places charge large fees, have fancy schools, and teach flash and fancy, but teach very few martial arts techniques

- We offer training for ages 5 and up.  Don't let your age stop you from training, you are never too old to start training.

- We encourage family groups to train together and offer family rates.

- We offer a free children’s program we call “Children’s Street Smart’s Protection Program” to any church, club, or group that want the children in their group to be safer as they go about daily lives.

- We offer a free adult self defense course to any church, group, or club.  This class is designed to teach an adult how to do basic self defense and to avoid or get out of a dangerous situation.  No one can teach you how to fight in a two hour class.

Come on by and get into a good program, we would love to have you train with us!
