Onegai Shimasu!
Welcome to the Ueshiro Carleton Karate Dojo of Northfield, Minnesota.
We train a traditional, Okinawan style of Karate that focuses on the development of mind, body, and spirit. Our Karate is part of a centuries-old lineage of karate practitioners, founded in Okinawa and now practiced around the world. The Ueshiro Carleton Karate Dojo is part of Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate U.S.A., founded by Grand Master Ansei Ueshiro and directed by Hanshi Robert Scaglione, with many affiliated clubs and dojos around
Anyone can learn karate.
