Kyori-Do Karate
CTX Martial Arts teaches Kyori-Do Karate — a comprehensive martial arts system that combines the precision of Shotokan Karate, the practical effectiveness of Cuong Nhu, and the character-building philosophy of Kyori-Do training. Founded by Sensei Luis Costa with 35+ years of martial arts expertise, we've trained over 500+ students to black belt level.
Our age-appropriate programs develop not just martial arts skill, but discipline, confidence, respect, and real self-defense ability. Every class builds toward measurable progression through structured belt ranks — your child knows exactly where they're headed and how to get there.
