EXCELLENCE

We are the leading dojo on the local level and a major player on the National Level.  Each year our students compete and win at the highest levels of our sport.  Not only that, but our classes are filled with kids getting real-time help with confidence, anxiety, focus, and health.

We are a Traditional Karate Dojo, not a Modern Commercial Martial Arts School.   Often, these schools rely on gimmicks, heavy marketing, pressure sales tactics and high turn-over rates.  That's not us.  We are here to make your kids engaged, motivated, and focused. If you want substance over image, we want to meet you!

INTEGRITY

HISTORY

We were there at the very beginnings of the Karate experience in the United States.  Hanshi Doug and Janice Adamson founded our studio in 1977.  This means that we, through many hard-fought tournaments and years of mat sessions, have the experience, reputation, and the dedication to excellence it takes to direct you toward excellence.

COMMUNITY

Adamson's Karate is a local, family-owned Karate Dojo with deep roots in this community.  The Adamson Family is quite unique in that the entire family teaches and trains Karate - now in our third generation.  Hanshi Doug Adamson is the internationally recognized head of our family style called "Shorei-Kai".  He is actively involved with the training of our black belt candidates, competition teams and camps!

CONVENIENCE

We have schools in the following communities: Noblesville, Carmel, Zionsville, Brownsburg, Avon, Bargersville and Shelbyville.  One great thing about a large group of schools is that we all can participate in inter-school competitions, activities, Summer Camps, and informative seminars from senior staff you just won't find in other schools. 

LEVEL/AGE SPECIFIC TRAINING

Commercial Martial Arts schools often mix all levels together offering lots of class time choices per week.  It sounds good on the surface but it's not good for your over-all experience with Martial Arts.  We offer specific class times so that your family makes a habit of coming to class, gets level specific instruction, and sees familiar faces every class.   We have one of the highest retention rates in the nation and this is part of the reason.
