About Union Karate Club
Union Karate Club provides structured Shotokan karate training for children, teens, and adults in Union and surrounding communities. Our goal is to help every student grow in skill, confidence, discipline, and character.
Our Approach
Our classes combine traditional Shotokan karate with structured, age appropriate instruction. Students learn kihon, kata, kumite, discipline, respect, focus, and perseverance in a positive training environment.
Competition opportunities are available for students who want to challenge themselves, but tournament participation is not required. Our priority is helping each student become the best version of themselves.
Rooted in Character
Karate is more than physical training. At Union Karate Club, students are encouraged to show respect, work hard, control their behavior, and carry the lessons of the dojo into everyday life.
Instructor
Union Karate Club is led by Kristy Warren, who brings over 40 years of experience in traditional Shotokan karate. Training is focused on strong fundamentals, clear standards, and consistent instruction.
