Specialties
West Haven Academy of Karate is the oldest, full-time martial arts institution serving West Haven, CT. For physical & character development, visit today.
The West Haven Academy of Karate, Inc. believes in traditional values and we teach the classical art of Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan (The American School of the Way of the Empty Hand Defense) which was founded by Grandmaster and chief instructor Charles J. Ferraro. We augment our training in Tang Soo Do with the art of Hai Dong Gumdo (the way of the Korean Sword), Aikido, Ju-jitsu, Tai Chi and Philippine Martial Arts.
We believe in fostering the principles of respect and discipline, long considered cornerstones for the martial arts. This integration helps to create a person who is free from inner conflict and who can deal with the outside world in a mature, intelligent, forthright and virtuous manner.
With programs for kids and adults, we invite you to try martial arts today and build your confidence, self-discipline and self-control as you act and react to the world around you.
