Welcome to The Lopresti Family Dojo and Lopresti's Mixed Martial Arts!! We are the oldest Shotokan Karate School in South Jersey. We would like to congratulate you for looking at our website. You will find plenty of information here and we hope that it will whet your appetite and encourage you to come and join us. We are proud to welcome numerous other clubs in the Philadelphia region who have decided to align themselves with us (see the associated clubs link). We are are group of like minded karateka. We are also proud to take an ecclectic approach to our martial art.

Why Shotokan karate? We feel it is the best Traditional system from the East. MMA Superstar Lyoto Machida credits his fighting style as Shotokan karate. Why Koryu Uchinadi? We feel it is the perfect blend of East meets West. The modern Western approach to biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, and pedagological techniques fosters learning and doesnt force it. Please feel free to fully look at this website.

We are now enrolling students in our amateur fight club for MMA style action. If you are interested in competing in these MMA style tournaments or submission wrestling, then get on board. If you just want to get a great workout and stay in shape then get on board.

We welcome all inquiries. Feel free to contact us at any time or stop by the club. For more information please check out the site in its entirety. 856-589-3818 This is a new number. It was activated 12/10/06. Please make a note.
