The theme of High Reaches Karate & Fitness llc is Philippians 3:13-14. We teach a Christ-centered martial art that is formally recognized by both the Korea Hapkido Federation and the World Kido Federation and contains foundational biblical teachings within the martial arts curriculum. Respect and tolerance for all human life is taught. Our system has a life long relationship with Akayama Ryu.
We welcome all students regardless of their race or religious background. Our goal is to provide quality martial arts and fitness instruction to children and adults in a family friendly environment at an affordable price. It is our hope to guide boys and men to the path of peace through discipline, leadership and self-confidence and to educate girls and women on how to be safe and use effective assault prevention strategies.
We believe in community outreach. We believe that faith-based organizations are effective channels to impact the community and we will partner with them in ways to better our city.
We have been teaching martial arts in the Ashland County area since October of 2001. We began teaching inside of a local gymnastics company and outgrew our position there in 2007. We feel there is an advantage to having a blatantly Christian approach to martial arts where we focus on the entire development of our students: physical, mental and spiritual. This is different than the norm of many martial arts schools.
In the near future we will be expanding and taking on more staff. If you are a serious black belt student of the arts, interested in and open to new methods of teaching and style differences, feel free to contact us as we may be looking for you!
Before joining a martial arts school, we encourage you to check around, visit us and visit other schools, assess the value for your dollar. We are that confident in what we do.
