NKMB’s Karate Ministry exists with the mission to Promote Physical Health, Train Peacemakers, & Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our style, traditional Meibukan Gojyu-Ryu Karate (IMGKA) is a great family activity and a sport that is accessible to all ages (starting age 5). While promoting a healthy and active lifestyle, our karate style encourages peacemaking in that the primary goal of our training is to prevent violence.
As a ministry of this church we also seek to encourage one's walk in the Christian faith and engage our larger community through our study of karate. Our instruction includes a short devotional & prayer time mid-class.
Pastor Ben Harapiak holds his third degree black belt and is a registered Sensei with the IMGKA. As chief instructor, he leads classes with a great team of black belts assisting!
