They have not only learned the Magnus method, they have lived it, and they are passionate about passing their knowledge and skills to the next generation of Magnus leaders.

    Effort, Responsibility, Confidence – Our three primary core values. Every class centers around these guiding principles of life development. We want all Magnus Karate students to feel confidence every time they enter our dojo.

    Our Business Model – No Contracts – Month to Month Payment Options – Quality Instruction every class. All of our students are here because they love our program, and we want you to love it too.
