South KC Shotokan Karate

I’ve had the honor of knowing Sensei Banks for 21 years. He is the most dedicated, passionate, and patient teacher I’ve had in my life. He’s nurtured a welcoming and supportive community from all walks of life. His wisdom goes far beyond self-defense. He teaches a way of thinking that leads to a life filled with calm, clarity, and purpose in our world of stress, distraction, and uncertainty. You will not be disappointed!

A great place to learn Japanese karate! My son has been going there for several years now and its great to see the progress he's made with instruction from Sensei Eric Banks. Eric is a great teacher, he's great with kids and very patient...Rates are reasonable. I just wish i had the time right now to join as well. Go check them out...

My Kiddos & my God-Son are currently training here under the instruction of Sensei, Eric. HOW ABOUT HE IS AN AWESOME INSTRUCTOR! 👌 👏 👍 I can appreciate its location as it is right off Main Street in the heart of Grandview adjacent to both the Grandview D.M.V. & Grandview Police Station. S/O TO OFFICER GOODE. (We 💜 U.) Moreover, Eric is an intuitive, charming, gracious leader & instructor. LOOK HERE, PEOPLE, WE HAVE A VISION & WE NEED YOUR MONEY!

Mr. Banks is an incredible instructor. He moves quickly, but doesn't expect perfection and it is wonderful. My boys are enjoying the classes so far!

This is a great dojo, and the members are all very friendly and very patient. Its small, with small class sizes, which allows for more personalized training opportunities. The instructor is no different, leading us all with compassion and understanding. very intelligent and high ranking. The cost is a little less than the average dojo, even in the highest enrollment package offers
