MKC Karate

At MKC Karate, we're more than just a martial arts school; we're a family dedicated to changing lives, one student at a time. Our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to share the classical art of Okinawan Karate, also known as Ryukyu Kempo, with the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan community. Our commitment to this mission has been unyielding since 2010, and we're proud to have made a positive impact on countless lives along the way.

Testimonials: What Our Students Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our students have to say about their experience at MKC Karate: "I've been training at MKC for about a year now, and I've grown significantly in my understanding of martial arts. I've learned more self-defense techniques here than I did at my previous school where I got a black belt, " says Barbara M. A Senior Manager from the US DOT adds, "Master Bast provided a corporate training for my agency on self-awareness. His honest and engaging teaching style captivated the participants." VP of another organization notes, "If you're looking for a self-defense class that actually teaches techniques which can be learned quickly and applied to real-world situations, this is the place for you."
