- To develop the health and character of our members through the practice of karatedo and jiu-jutsu.
- To educate our members in the art and science of self-defense as embodied in the Shitoryu school of karatedo and Shuri-te Jujutsu.
- To prepare our members for black belt testing through the World Shitoryu Karatedo Federation or International Shuri-te Yudansha-kai.
Classes are offered in conjunction with the Kingstowne Residential Owner's Corporation (KROC). MASK offers instruction right in the heart of the community. Traditional karate classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Snyder Center (6450 South Van Dorn Street).
