WHAT DOES KAIZEN MEAN?
Kaizen (ky-zen) is two japanese words meaning change and good. Most commonly translated to continuous improvement or change for the better. At KMA we teach a traditional form of Okinawan karate known as Uechi-ryu (waychee-roo) where students of all ages and backgrounds have the common goal of personal growth and to relentlessly reach for the edge of their potential in a quest of understanding themselves.

TEACHER AND CLASS INFORMATION
MEET MR. HART
Nicholas Hart began his training in the art of Uechi-Ryu Karate in 2001. Training hard and working diligently he earned the rank of Shodan(first degree black belt) in less than three years, where at his promotional examination he was distinguished as the most outstanding candidate.
Upon discovering that martial arts were his passion, he knew he wanted to give back and share the many benefits of the martial arts with people of all ages. Mr. Hart quickly developed an exceptional reputation for being a natural born teacher and leader. His positive attitude and delight for helping others reach their true potential is contagious.
Prior to moving to Columbia County, Nick resided in a suburb of Boston, MA where he taught karate full time since 2004 and was the Lead Instructor and Director of Operations at North Shore Karate Academy. His Sensei, Robert Spoon, is well known internationally for his knowledge in the art of Uechi-Ryu, his exceptional teaching and technical skills.
Before earning his fifth degree black belt in Okinawa, Hart Sensei has competed several times and been a top finalist on each occasion. On a world class level at the 2009 Uechi-Ryu World Cup he was the Gold Medal Champion in Kumite (fighting).
