Social Skills

• Respect and Courtesy

  Group classes, drills, and partner work foster cooperation, while opportunities to lead warm-ups or assist others build leadership qualities.

Shihan Bill Viola Sr. established the school with a foundation in traditional Shotokan karate, emphasizing discipline, respect, and character development. The dojo’s philosophy centers on building “Black Belts in Life,” focusing not only on physical prowess but also on life skills and personal growth.
