Welcome to the Vernon Valley Karate Academy, your center for Family Fitness and Family Fun. Here at Vernon Valley Karate we pride ourselves on our commitment to the families of our local communities. As stated in our Logo, we believe wholeheartedly that, "The Family that Kicks Together, Sticks Together!" .

We teach a form of Karate respected throughout the world as one of the best. Shrorin-Ryu Karate is one of the original forms developed in Okinawa, Japan. We continue to present this traditional style in accordance with the skills and goals developed years ago by its founding father, Sensei Chosin Chibana.
Our focus is the positive development of all aspects of life. We stress friendship and harmony with others as our most important goal. At the same time, however, we learn a martial art that empowers us with the competence and assurance that we need to confront aggression and deal with dangerous situations should they arise. We understand that "There is a great difference between being gentle because you want to be, and being gentle because you are not strong enough to be otherwise." We seek to be as soft as the world will let us be, yet as strong as it demands us to be.
