At YKF Karate, we believe martial arts should be accessible to every family — not locked behind high enrollment fees, expensive contracts, and unaffordable training for the average family!

That’s why Mr. Nick and Ms. Heidel Scott, along with Nidan Colby Nelson, founded YKF Karate with a clear mission:

To provide affordable, authentic traditional karate to our community while preserving a base lineage passed down over five generations.

Our training traces its roots back to Sensei Reyburn Nichols of International Karate, whose standards of discipline, strength, and character shaped everything we teach today. His legacy wasn’t just about technique — it was about building resilient, responsible leaders. That is the foundation of YKF Karate.

We focus on:

Traditional yoshukai training

Practical self-defense

Strong character development

Affordable pricing for families

We are not here to sell belts.

We are here to build confident, disciplined individuals prepared for life. So if you’re looking for a program that values tradition, character building, and focus on growing as a family— without excessive costs passed on to you the customer — we would love to welcome you.

Come train with us and experience the Yoshukai difference passed down by the legendary Sensei Reyburn Nichols of International Karate Federation.
