Norfolk Karate Academy

Norfolk Karate Academy Beyond the mountain is another mountain. Norfolk Karate Academy offers Tang Soo Do (Korean karate) and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes to all ages.

The school is not a chain or a franchise although we are licensed by the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy to teach their proprietary programs. Our students receive personal attention with instruction tailored to individual needs in an atmosphere that promotes teamwork, camaraderie, and individual growth. We don't believe in gimmicks or fads. Nor do we promise martial arts training will be fast or easy. We

do promise to make you a competent, confident, and complete martial artist. Whether you're a child, teen, adult, senior, man, or woman -- you will find our approach to martial arts training to be a positive life-changing experience that can improve your physical and mental health while teaching you to protect yourself against an attacker. We offer a no-risk guarantee of satisfaction. Simply train with us for one month. If you're not satisfied, then you'll receive a full refund of your tuition. At Norfolk Karate Academy, you can do it!
