Our Programs & Classes
All-City Karate programs provide a safe nurturing family environment that reinforces good family values and life skills. Yes, you or your child will learn how to defend themselves, but our primary aim is to instill strong character traits that will last a lifetime.
It's a fact that no other sport teaches the character building tool found in martial arts. You will witness your confidence increase with each class. Self-confidence and high self-esteem are paramount in developing strong character.
All - City Karate Programs and Instructors have proven to be a positive image in this community for their work with children and have been recognized by many different agencies and individuals such as WHAS 11 News, WAVE 3 News, WLKY 32 News, Jefferson County Public Schools, Courier Journal, Louisville Defender, Regional Sport Karate Magazine,Governor Ernie Fletcher, Metro Mayor Jerry Abramson, former Mayor & Co. Judge Executive Dave Armstrong, former Aldermanic President Denise Bentley, and the City Louisville Board of Alderman.
Students and enthusiasts of Karate have many reasons for their interest in this and other martial art styles. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. While still others are concerned about safety and self-defense.
Whether you are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being, All-City Karate offers a number of programs that will fit your developmental needs and your busy schedule as well.

JUDO / JUJITSU PROGRAM
Judo is a tremendous and dynamic combat sport that demands both physical prowess and great mental discipline. From a standing position, it involves techniques that allow you to lift and throw your opponents onto their backs. On the ground, it includes techniques that allow you to pin your opponents down to the ground, control them, and apply various choke holds or joint locks until submission. The ultimate objective of judo is not to learn superiority over others, but rather to master themselves. It is our duty to push ourselves to perfection, find our weaknesses and overcome them.

RISING STAR YOUTH SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Rising Star Youth Sports Scholarship Program is an award-winning sports program whose mission is to prevent juvenile crime by providing disadvantaged and “at-risk” children the opportunity to become involved in physical and cultural arts programs, working with established and recognized martial arts schools.
Martial Arts are uniquely suited for the personal development of children, stressing such values as respect, discipline, courage and integrity while also teaching goal-setting skills and instilling a positive work ethic. The discipline and focus it requires to be good at martial arts are the same character-building traits that are required for someone to achieve success in life.
Local Law Enforcement, School Couselors, and Youth Social Services account for most of the children referred into this program. The children earn their continuous participation in Rising Star program through attendance, maintaining good grades in school and exhibiting good behavior, all of which are closely monitored.
All-City Karate is the registered Sponsor Studio of Rising Star Youth Sports. If you would like to give a donation or sponsor a child give us call.
