Hanshi Charles Scott has taught thousands of people of all ages over the years. His school, The College of Martial Arts, does not focus on teaching sport karate, or point sparring.  His focus is on traditional martial arts. A martial arts that will teach you skills and awareness if you are attacked.  He aims to develop reactions that can be applied to protect yourself.  

     Hanshi’s Scott’s area of study includes Shudo Kan karate (8th Dan), Gosoku Ryu karate (8th Dan), Kenpo Jitsu, Taekwon Do, Kobudo weapons, Yoshinkan Aikido, Wu Kung Fu, and Tai Chi Chuan where he holds different black belt rankings in each.  Mr. Scott has continually been training in Hojutsu, the art of firing a gun, for 10 years with Soke Jeff Hall and was awarded the rank of Godan (5th dan) in February of 2016. Additionally, Hanshi Scott has a doctorate degree in Martial Arts Management with an emphasis on Oriental Religious Philosophy.

By having such a strong background in so many different styles of martial arts Hanshi Scott is able to take the basic value of karate another step further through the introduction of other types of training. This is very valuable for instruction where self-defense is paramount for life safety. It allows a student learning karate to also learn basic tactics in judo and aikido where a fight may end up on the ground and any means necessary will be used to subdue an attacker--something that sport karate does not focus on.  

Karate class on Monday nights and Saturday mornings are taught by Hanshi Scott. These days offer an hour class for kids (4-13) and a separate hour for adults (+14) Exceptions on age are always made and depend on the level and ability of the student. Hanshi teaches Aikido and Kung Fu on Tuesday's and Thursday's for all ages and all levels. He also teaches a Iaido (katana sword) class that is occationally combined with other Kobudo weapons on Saturday after the Adult Karate class.
