Myoshinkan Karate STL is the headquarters school for Myoshinkan Sogo Budo. We teach traditional Japanese Karate. The teacher has been to Japan to train and is ranked 6th Dan. A focus is put on kata (forms) and the self-defense applications such as blocks/strikes, throws, joint locks, pressure point attacks, etc... contained therein. The teacher is Jason Gramling, a retired military officer. He continues to train actively in several other Japanese and Okinawan martial arts and brings lessons and concepts from these other styles into his teaching at Myoshinkan Karate STL.
