Welcome to the Mid-America Karate Region's website.  Our clubs teach a traditional Japanese martial art, known as Shotokan Karate.  
We are a member of the International Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF), which was founded by  the late Master Teruyuki Okazaki. 

Our Chief Instructor is Sensei James Oberschlake, who began his martial arts training in 1974.  

Please visit our 'Regional Clubs' page to find a Club near you.  You can also visit our 'Calendar' page to see where our next Regional Training will be held.

We hope to see you soon!

Mid-America Karate, Inc. is a not for profit, 501(c)(3) organization.
