About Us:
Karate classes build a strong foundation of strength and discipline for all ages. While you learn to defend yourself, you’ll learn how to use your strength responsibly. It’s an individual martial art that allows you to foster humility and perseverance. While you compete, you gain a newfound level of respect for yourself and others that changes your worldview. Karate isn’t a temporary extracurricular activity either – you can continually train from adolescence into adulthood.
Mount Pleasant Karate is unlike any other karate academy. We are the low country’s only traditional martial arts school. This distinction adds an extra level of honor and prestige to the ranks that are earned. We offer an authentic training experience where students strive for achievement and work hard towards their goals. Your devotion is honored as much as your progress.
