We are excited to announce we are Back!!Start Date is 10/8/24
Hauppauge Karate Club is proud to announce we have completed our 40th year as a karate club in the Hauppauge School District!
When we first started our program it was a Saturday morning class for children only.
It was not until Kyodi,our school in Alberston, closed that we decided to combine our children's and adult classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
When Hanshi Graham and myself started the program we could not have imagined that it would transform into the program that it is today.
We started with just Hanshi and myself as instructors. As you all can see the amount of Renshi's and Sensei's has multiplied.
After Hanshi and Renshi Petty ,came myself and Yodan
Sensei Kelly (R.I.P.), then came Yodan Sensei Menies ,Sensei's Hanley and Kilstein(R.I.P) ; we are the elders and founding Members of HKC.
The new kid on the block is Renshi Abrahams! He joined us 17 years ago (although not new to Kanzen, over 50 years) and the Dojo has benefited from his expertise and gung ho attitude!
We have taught so many students and have enjoyed promoting some of them to Black Belt, Hanshi Graham had the pleasure of promoting his son to Black Belt and Sensei Hanley was able to see his daughter promoted to Black Belt!

So after 40 years we are still going strong and we look forward to seeing everyone's progress and trying to guess who will be our next student to become Black Belt and Instructor!(congrats to Carly, who was promoted to Black Belt last August)

From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank Hanchi Graham and all the instructors for keeping this program going strong.

I would also like to thank all the students and parents and extended families over the past 40 years for making HKC 38 YEARS STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yours in Kanzen,
Yodan Sensei Jaye
