USA Karate RI is owned and managed by Shihan Tony Abatecola and his wife Luisa.  Their goal is to provide a professional, high quality environment in which the fine traditions of teaching excellence can thrive and to create an open, family friendly Martial Arts training center.  Parents are encouraged to get involved with their child's progress. 

We believe in using traditional titles. The title "Shihan" simply means "Master" and is bestowed on those instructors who have attained the Black Belt Rank of Godan (5th Degree) or higher.  The Title "Sensei" (Pronounced "sen-say") simply means "Black Belt Instructor."  

Our Sensei are thoroughly trained in professional teaching techniques and are equipped with the very best of knowledge.  Furthermore, they are encouraged to continue to train and upgrade their teaching skills as well as their Martial Arts skills.  Our Sensei have a sincere interest in your progress and are devoted to helping you achieve your goals.
