. Butler, Master David Valovich, and Master Brad Lovell. He later studied tuite and kyo-shojitsu with Taika Oyata. He also studied Indonesian Salat, Filipino Kempo, Kali, Tai Chi Chuan, Wing Chun, Muay Thai and Jeet Kune Do under the direction of Dr. Moore. At age 6, Master Butler competed in his first sanctioned competition and went on to obtain his first black belt in Shuri-Te Karate at the age of 11. At age 14, Master Butler was 3rd in the nation in midwest tournament points. He was inducted into the Filipino Martial Arts Hall of Fame in the year 2000 as the "Instructor of the Year". He has trained with many world renowned Martial Artists such as: Grand Master/Soke Michael H Butler, Grand Master Taika Seiyu Oyata, Master David A Valovich, Master Brad Lovell, Master Michael Babcock, Sensei Dale Valovich, Co-Founder of the IMAA and Author Master Philip Starr, Grand Master Michael Moore, Shihan Michael Graves, and Shihan Jerry Barbar. Master Butler teaches and trains in an old school/ traditional way and wishes only to give back to the art as it has given so much to him. Karate is so much more than what some may consider a "violent sport". Much can be gained in one's life by becoming a student of martial arts. It will instill in you discipline, inspire fitness, and develop self awareness and confidence. Please send us a message if you have any questions about attending classes. Dojo Kun:

Seek perfection of character

Protect the way of the truth

Foster the spirit of effort

Respect the principles of etiquette and respect others

Guard against impetuous courage and refrain from violent behavior
