Kentuckiana Shotokan Karate Do (KSKD)

A great no-nonsense place to learn regardless of your experience level, physical fitness or technical aptitude. Very welcoming to both complete novices and experienced martial artists, even those like me who took a very long hiatus and are looking to get back into the swing of things. Sensei Covington is a man of great integrity, patience and good humor. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Karate or any other martial arts.

This dojo is a family! They treat every student with respect and set the bar high for personal growth. It's a great place to meet new friends and work hard.

This is a great place to get martial arts training no matter what level or age you're at. Sensei Almonte Covington is very good at what he does which includes teaching Shotokan Martial Arts. I've trained for about 4 years as a teenager with him. Then I went off to college. Its been about a decade since I've really practiced at a high and consistent level, but the techniques and knowledge that I learned from him sticks with me to this day. This is the place to go! You'll learn more than just fighting and katas!

One of THE best schools in Kentucky. Period. My son started when he was almost 4. It has been a life changing experience. Sensei Covington has been a very positive influence on my son Chuck. Through the teaching of Karate, Chuck has learned respect, discipline, and the meaning of responsibility. He knows how to handle “bully” situations, and knows at all times, violent behavior is unacceptable.

I say this with the most sincerity, I have learned how to be a better father by Sensei Covington’s example and patient teaching style.

Do yourself a favor and stop by to visit them. It can only help you or your child’s development to become a positive, strong and healthy human being....

When I decided that going to the gym was getting too boring, I realized I had to do something more creative to to stay in shape. When my wife wanted to learn self-defense I knew martial arts would offer a solution for both of us.

When looking for schools, or dojos, I focused on authenticity of the arts, skill level of the instructor and of course...the cost of classes. Kentuckiana Shotokan exceeded my standards by a mile.

The most important thing that we love about our dojo is how easy it is to call it home. Everyone was so welcoming, we immediately felt like family. We attend 5 classes a week and have learned so much. We're in great shape and even a little dangerous!
