    01 / The start

    Master Doyle has trained for 53-plus years and served as a combat veteran. He opened K3 in 1996 to give kids what that life taught him: real skill, and the character to use it well. 30 years later, that standard has not moved.

    02 / The character

    Belts change color; character changes lives. Respect, self-control and courage are taught in every class, and he holds his team to the same.

    03 / The training

    Our instructors teach Krav Maga, Karate, MMA, Kickboxing, blended by age and goal, so a six-year-old learns control while an adult learns real self-defense.
