You cant find a dojo with more qualified instructors! We have 6 sensei, some of whom are among the most experienced and highest ranking karateka in our style. We instruct both adults and children in practical self-defense and traditional discipline, and have been doing so since 1980 in the Dover area. (Disclosure: Im obviously a member, since 1996).

Shihan Lazarus is the best! Qualified school with excellent instructors in traditional karate.

Shihan Greg Lazarus is an exceptional talent and truly enjoys teaching the art of Matsumura Seito Shorin-Ryu Karate. If you’re looking to experience Okinawa karate the way it was meant to be, while getting a great workout..... then look no further!

If you are interested in traditional karate... there is no better choice, better dojo, or better teacher than Shihan Lazarus!

In a time when martial arts schools are almost completely dominated by MMA gyms and Traditional Karate dojos that have gone so far into the sports realm that the arts have little to no practicality left, Shihan Lazarus is part of a dying breed.Since 1980 he has been teaching authentic Shorin Ryu Karate the way he was taught. The techniques have a strong base in physiology and body mechanics, and students also learn about Okinawan history, culture, and traditions to put it all into context.If you are looking for something more than just what is in fashion right now and would rather learn an art that has stood the test of time but is still viable today, there are few instructors in all of New England with more experience and better credentials than Shihan Lazarus.
