About Us
To help the Cornell Community develop its karate skills.
We stay unaffiliated because we don’t think any single karate style—or martial art—has all the answers. We’re all about learning from everywhere. Our club has trained with black belts from Shito‑Ryu, Goju‑Ryu, Shotokan, Isshin‑Ryu, and American Kenpo, and we welcome new perspectives. Some members also bring experience in Thai Boxing, Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu, Aikido, Kendo, Kali and Kobudo.
If you’re looking for a place to try new things, and be part of a community that’s open‑minded and welcoming, this is the spot!
Current training style(s) depend on the background of current black belts.
