Students
The CKA Focus
The Coopersburg Karate Academy is focused on teaching traditional martial arts to children, and encourages parents to join as well. We also want to teach adults who have tight schedules to learn with and have fun with their children. We have a serious outlook on traditional karate but also have a good time doing it. Much like the movie, The Karate Kid, Coopersburg Karate Academy works hard to be like Mr. Miyagi in our approach and not the hard Cobra Kai School that depicted the cruel and harsher side of karate teaching.
