Welcome to Troy Kids Karate, where we believe that every child has the potential to become a confident and disciplined martial artist. Our journey began over thirty years ago when our founder, Greg Horton, a sixth-degree black belt, saw the need for a dedicated space where kids could learn karate in a fun and supportive environment. With a passion for teaching and a deep connection to the community, Troy Kids Karate was born, offering tailored programs for children as young as four. Our mission is to empower the youth of Troy by instilling core values such as respect, perseverance, and teamwork through the art of karate. We are proud to be a part of this vibrant community and are committed to nurturing the next generation of leaders.
At Troy Kids Karate, our story is one of passion, dedication, and community. Greg Horton, our founder, started this journey with a simple goal: to create a safe and engaging space for children to learn karate. Over the years, we have grown into a trusted name in the community, known for our commitment to developing young leaders through martial arts.
Our team is composed of skilled instructors who are not only experts in martial arts but also passionate about child development. Leading our team is Denny Strecker, who has been teaching karate for over 30 years and is known for his engaging and motivational teaching style. Alongside him are our Legacy Team Members, who are a product of our program and are now learning how to help other children. Our assistant instructor, Anay Pai, is a Troy native and a black belt who started his karate journey at our school, exemplifying the growth and success we strive to inspire in all our students.
We offer specialized programs tailored to the unique needs of different age groups, ensuring that each child receives the best possible karate education:
