About Havelock's Family Karate Center

Havelock's Family Karate Center is a recognized member of the National Association of Professional Martial Artists (NAPMA) and teaches with the emphasis on "Character Development", not just martial arts ability. With over 25 years experience and 12 years as a school owner, Mr. Williams has been successful in helping students of all ages and abilities to discover the benefits of martial arts training for themselves.

His dedication to stay on the cutting edge of both personal growth and development of a martial arts curriculum for his students is evident in his philosophy of constant and never-ending self improvement. He has earned a BA in Business Management, MS in Education, and most recently a Ph.D. in Business Administration.

The Family Karate Center was founded on the principles of teaching excellence, positive role models, and a rich tradition of Okinawan Karate.

Our Instructors will provide you with the most complete and effective methods to reach your full potential. Family Karate Center is more than just martial arts and self defense. It is by far the most comprehensive and exciting martial arts program in our area.

At Family Karate Center, our NAPMA designed professionally structured courses go much further than just punching and kicking. As professional martial arts instructors we feel that it is our duty not only to help our students develop self defense skills, but also to provide a complete program of character development to enhance our students ability to excel in life. Our courses include life skills, SWAT (Special Winning Attitude Team), progressive phases of character development, lessons of the month, themes of the week, newsletters, an ambassador program, and special seminars and events.

Located next to the Holiday Inn in Havelock on US Highway 70 the facility features 1,500 square feet of matted training area as well as a separate After-school area. The Pro Shop and Front Office are conveniently located at the entrance to the Family Karate Center.

Parents may stay and watch their children train or drop them off and come back in an hour later to pick them up after they have completed their class.
