Connect with Top-Rated Martial Arts Schools in Washington!

Welcome to the Isshinryu Karate Academy, the town's oldest and continuously operating martial arts school. Founded in 1980 by Sensei Ben Lapinski, we teach a traditional type of Okinawan karate to students of all ages, from 5 to adults. Our classes are organized by age and are taught by experienced senior black belts in a disciplined but accessible environment. Outside of training, our school is a friendly and family-oriented community of students, teachers, and friends. We offer classes in traditional karate, as well as specialized classes like Women's Safety and Self-Defense.
