Welcome to Sensei Hovey's Isshin Ryu School of Karate.

Hovey’s School of Isshin-Ryu Karate aims to teach its art regardless of race, creed, sex, or age.

The study of karate is a serious undertaking. It requires hard work and dedication by its students. On the other hand, the students will discover in Isshin Ryu self-defense, self-confidence, physical fitness, sport and philosophy.
