News and Events

All group classes and camps at Imperatori Martial Arts are suspended effective Tuesday, 3/17/2020. We hope to resume classes and camps beginning Wednesday, April 1st. Obviously this may change – we will keep you posted.
Private lessons are still available during this 2 week period. The private lessons will be taught at a safe distance, with all contact being done on the heavy bags that will be disinfected before and after each lesson. These private lessons can be for individual students alone, or with their immediate family members. We hope that this will be an option for our families who want to get out of the house and exercise in a clean, safe environment.
To schedule a lesson, send an email to info@imperatorikarate.com and Joey will promptly send you daytime and evening availability.
I wish everyone the best during this difficult and uncertain time. Thank you for your support of our studio and staff!
