Allegheny Shotokan (Viola Karate) Martial Arts

My son has been training here for 5 years. His focus and discipline have been phenomenal since he has started. Truly world class leadership. He loves all aspects of karate, but his passion is sparring.

My 9 year old daughter started karate at Allegheny Shotokan 3 years ago and she loves it! I’m grateful for the skills, fitness, discipline and confidence she’s gained. She specifically says that she loves how Sensei Bil cares about them and always encourages them to do their best and get better. The dojo feels like family and is a perfect fit for kids and adults of all ages. I love that the things that she is learning are skills that she will have now and carry throughout her life. Highly recommend.

Both my son and daughter (Michael & Samantha )have been students of Allegheny Shotokan Karate Club for nearly 7 years. Great school with great instructors. Kids have a blast learning about martial arts and the history of karate. Both of my children are on the travel competition team. Enjoy traveling with friends and family to various tournaments located throughout the United States and Canada. If we had to do it all over again, Allegheny Shotokan would be the answer again.

I have 2 children that attend Allegheny Shotokan. My oldest has been training at this school for almost 9 years. The instructors are first class and take the time to truly teach their students be it the forms, sparring, weapons or the Japanese language and the history of the dojo. This is the greatest group of instructors I have ever been around and I am proud to call them "family" and friends.

My daughter has been training at Allegheny Shotokan for over 4 years. All of the instructors are the best of the best. Family owned and operated so it's not a chain like a lot of other martial arts schools. Not only does my daughter love going to class and training hard, I also enjoy being a part of our "karate family". We will definitely be a part of this family organization for many more years to come.
