Every day, in every way, I'm getting better, and better, and better.
At Yakima School of Karate, our mission is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals of all ages and skill levels to learn and grow through the study of martial arts. Our school is built around the principles of Shudokan Karate-Do, an Okinawan style of karate that emphasizes practical self-defense, sustainable lifelong training, and community building.
Our Journey
Our story began with Shihan Mike Franco, our founder and chief instructor, who started training in karate at the age of 8 under his father, Shihan John M. Franco Sr. Over the years, Shihan Mike has continued to refine his skills, training with some of the most renowned instructors in the world, including Hanshi Morris Mack, founder of the American Shudokan Association. With a passion for teaching and mentoring, Shihan Mike has dedicated his life to sharing the benefits of karate with others.
