Welcome to our website. Our dojo instructs in the art of Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do, founded in 1947 by O'Sensei Shoshin Nagamine. It is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands in what is now referred to as Okinawa, Japan.  It is a striking art that was developed from indigenous fighting methods. It utilizes punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, open-handed techniques, grappling, locks, restraints, throws and vital point strikes.

  The karateka of our dojo are dedicated to preserving the art as it was originally intended.  Under the guidance of Kyoshi Don Caponigro, we are able to continue the knowledge and practices of Matsubayashi-Ryu as taught by the great masters of our style.

  Thank you for visiting our site and be sure to check out Kyoshi's Training Tips for information and insight to our style of karate-do.  There is always something to learn.
