Greetings from Sensei Gene Villa

You have chosen one of the finest karate schools in the Spokane area, dedicated to making your martial arts experience enjoyable and satisfying.

Our Instructors are the best. They have studied and trained for years to qualify as part of The Family Karate Center team. Now their primary task is to assist you in being the best that you can be.

Our carefully structured programs go far beyond punching, blocking and kicking. At the same time as we help you to acquire effective self-defense skills, we provide a comprehensive program of personal development. It is our goal to raise the quality of life of all our students in every way.

Although we honor karate traditions that go back centuries, we are not static. We constantly seek new and innovative ways to enthuse and excite our students.

The Family Karate Center is also actively involved in serving our local community. A wide variety of programs are available to your group or organization, including presentations to school age children, special classes on self - defense and how to deal with stress.

Your best interests are always in our upmost in our minds. Our instructors are always ready to help you in any way during your training. We will be happy to discuss your progress at any time.

Good Luck, and welcome once again.

Sincerely,

Sensei Gene Villa
