About Green’s Karate
Green’s Karate is built on the belief that martial arts should develop the whole person. Our training emphasizes character development, discipline, and personal responsibility through structured, progression based instruction. This philosophy is explained in depth here.
Green’s Karate Team -1999
Our first tournament season competing
National Competition Experience
Green’s Karate is led by instructor Corey Green, who has spent 29 years teaching martial arts and developing students both on and off the competition floor.
Corey has served as an active national referee with USA Karate for 28 of the organization’s 32 years, officiating high-level competition throughout the United States.
This experience allows students at Green’s Karate to learn from someone directly connected to the highest levels of Olympic-style karate.
Over the years, the school has also helped develop athletes who compete in events sanctioned by USA Karate, demonstrating that the same structured training used for beginners can also prepare students for national competition.
Character Development Is Not Accidential
At Green’s Karate, character development is intentional. Every class reinforces discipline, focus, manners, accountability, and resilience. Advancement is earned through consistency, effort and demonstrated growth, not shortcuts or time served.
Authentic Instruction, Proven Standards
We teach authentic Japanese karate through verified lineage, structured curriculum, and decades of real-world experience. Our programs are designed to produce measurable progress while maintaining the integrity of traditional martial arts.
Over time, this work expanded into structured instructional systems that now influence how martial arts can evolve and be taught globally. Learn more -> Advancing Modern Martial Arts Instruction Since 1998.
Lineage and Responsibility
Green’s Karate is built on traditional Japanese karate passed down through verified lineage. That lineage represents more than techniques or rank, it carries standards for how students are taught, how progress is earned, and how responsibility is handled.
Lineage explains where the instruction comes from. Responsibility explains how it is used. Teaching children and families requires judgment, consistency, and care. Standards are preserved, expectations are clear, and instruction is adjusted thoughtfully without lowering what is required to grow.
Our role is not simply to repeat tradition, but to apply it responsibly in today’s world. The goal is instruction that is structured, respectful, and effective, supporting real development on and off the mat while maintaining the integrity of the art. The full lineage and the responsibility it carries are outlined here.
Preparation For Life Beyond the Mat
Students develop confidence not through motivation alone, but through discipline, accountability, and repeated success over time. These qualities carry into school, work, relationships, and a daily life.
Who is this for?
Our programs attract individuals and families that value structure, high standards, and long-term development. Green’s Karate is not designed for everyone, it is designed for those committed to growth.
Leadership and Experience
Under the leadership of Corey Green, Green’s Karate has spent over 27 years building a reputation rooted in discipline, integrity, and results. Instructional. emphasizes discipline, respect, focus, and personal accountability, values that extend far beyond the training floor.
Recognized Internationally
Contributor – Deadly Art of Survival, Issue 16
The work taught at Green’s Karate has been recognized beyond the local level and documented internationally.
In Issue 16 of Deadly Art of Survival, this instructional approach was featured editorially, not as advertising, and not as a cover profile, but as part of the publication’s instructional content.
That distinction matters.
Editorial inclusion reflects scrutiny, not promotion. It recognizes systems that produce outcomes, not personalities that attract attention.
This same instructional framework continues to guide how students are taught at Green’s Karate today,with an emphasis on responsibility, structure, and measurable progress.
Recognition is appreciated. Responsibility to students matter more.
