Why Choose Kokoro Martial Arts?

Experienced Leadership: Led by head instructor Sean Carey, a 5th Degree Black Belt in American Kenpo and 7th Degree Black Belt in Yoshin-Ryu Ju-Jitsu, our school is built on decades of martial arts expertise and a dedication to empowering students.

Self-Defense Focus: All our classes emphasize practical self-defense skills to help you protect yourself and your loved ones with confidence and clarity.

Inclusive Environment: We welcome everyone, regardless of age, background, or ability, and strive to foster a supportive community where everyone can thrive.

Fairness: We do not utilize any long-term contracts, as we believe that violates the tenets of Honor in the Martial Arts. You can read more about that by clicking here.

Our Philosophy

At Kokoro Martial Arts, we believe martial arts is about more than physical techniques. It’s a way of life that builds character, promotes personal growth, and cultivates the balance of mind, body, and spirit. Our name, “Kokoro,” means “heart” or “spirit” in Japanese, and it reflects our commitment to teaching with passion, respect, and integrity. We embrace and promulgate the virtues practiced by the Samurai: Integrity, Respect, Courage, Honor, Compassion, Honesty, and Loyalty.
