Our style has been taught in this area since the early 60's. We carry on the teachings and traditions of O' Sensei Virgil D. Kimmey; a local legend. Not just the techniques he taught us; but the methods, mentality, and humility he taught us as well. So many schools today have lost what it means to truly teach martial arts. Its more than just fighting. Its more than just self defense. Its about helping a person shape themselves into who they want to truly be. Mr. Kimmey made champions. Mr. Kimmey made black belts. But most importantly, Mr. Kimmey helped make young men and women who would grow up to be strong, yet caring, people. He affected thousands of people's lives in a very positive way. That is what we do here. That is what our name represents. We are not just a school in a city, but a school that carries on the traditions that were started by Mr. Kimmey over 50 years ago in the city of North Augusta.
