Our Story
As a child of the 80s, I grew up with the Karate Kid, Ninja Turtles, and Chuck Norris. These influences help spark my interest in Martial Arts. As a teenager I enrolled in classes at National Karate in Excelsior, MN where through hard work, I earned my 1st degree black belt in 1997. Fast forward to today, I have a wonderful family with my wife Katie and two kids (Oliver and Ellie). Every day keeps me busy but my love for martial arts never ended. I founded White Karate to pass on that passion for Karate to my family and community.
