Welcome to Pak’s Karate Academy
of
Kansas City, Missouri

(aka: Locke’s Karate Academy)

A member school of the United Tang Soo Do Federation
and Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan

“Every Expert was Once a Beginner”

Our fast-paced and energetic classes consist of vigorous workouts using hand and foot techniques as well as throws and joint manipulation. In each class, we will work on test requirements such as forms, self-defense, and sparring.

We offer two separate programs which follow the requirements for promotion as set forth by the United Tang Soo Do Federation and the Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan, both nationally recognized and accredited Martial Arts organizations with over 16,000 active students and 100 schools.

Tang Soo Do training is open to everyone of all ages and will concentrate on the development of speed, agility, and grace with a primary focus on teaching the fundamentals of self-defense.

Okinawan Goju-Ryu training is geared more towards adults and will concentrate on practical self-defense involving the skilled applications of punches, kicks, blocks, dodges, and interceptions to swiftly and decisively overpower an attacker. The focus of this style is on the application of close quarters techniques to effectively end any altercation.

Our programs offer beginners the prime opportunity to enroll in a comprehensive Martial Arts experience which will help them to develop peak fitness, heightened self-confidence, and the ability to defend themselves in any situation. For anyone who has ever thought of training in the Martial Arts, now is the time!!!
