Welcome to Vernon Valley
Karate Academy!
Your destination for family fitness, fun, and growth.
About Us
At Vernon Valley Karate, we’re passionate about fostering a strong sense of community. Our motto is simple but powerful: "The Family that Kicks Together, Sticks Together." We pride ourselves on helping families bond, build strength, and develop skills that last a lifetime.
We teach Shorin-Ryu Reihokan Karate, a traditional and globally respected martial art originating from Okinawa, Japan. Shorin-Ryu was systemized by Sensei Chosin Chibana (1885–1969), who refined the teachings of Master Itosu and gave this powerful discipline its name. Reihokan is established by Sensei Ahagon of Okinawa and was a student of Sensei Chibana. Rooted in tradition, our classes honor the legacy of Shorin-Ryu while focusing on practical skills and modern goals.
Our academy isn’t just about karate—it’s about developing strong, confident individuals and fostering a sense of harmony and friendship. We teach the importance of respect and discipline while empowering our students with the tools to face challenges, both physical and mental.
At Vernon Valley Karate, we believe in the power of balance:
"We seek to be as soft as the world will let us be, yet as strong as it demands us to be."
Join us today and become part of a family that grows stronger, together.
