Sanford's Martial Arts

A Legacy of Traditional Okinawan Karate

Founded in 1980 by renowned Sensei Rod Sanford, Sanford Karate has been guiding students of all ages on their martial arts journey. Led by his son, Sensei Sean Sanford, our Dojo fosters a welcoming environment that emphasizes respect, discipline, and personal growth. We draw upon the rich traditions of Shorinji-Ryu Karate, blended with practical self-defense techniques and traditional weaponry training.

Tailored Programs for Every Learner

Our diverse curriculum caters to a wide range of ages and skill levels. Young minds can explore their potential in the Little Samurai program, while beginners can confidently embark on their Karate journey with the Youth Basic program. As students progress, they can delve deeper into the art with the Youth Intermediate and Youth Advanced programs. Adults can find their own balance between self-improvement and practical self-defense in the Adult Basic & Advanced classes.

More Than Just Physical Training

At Sanford Karate, we believe in fostering well-rounded individuals. Our instructors go beyond physical training to instill valuable life lessons in each student. Through weekly mat chats, we explore important topics like respect, self-discipline, honesty, and dealing with bullying and stranger awareness. These discussions help children and adults develop crucial life skills that extend far beyond physical training.
