Rifkin Professional Karate Center | Karate Columbia MO 65202

OUR MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO TRAIN THE BEST, MOST CAPABLE MARTIAL ARTISTS POSSIBLE.  WE ARE NOT A TIME-BASED SCHOOL, BUT AN ABILITY-BASED SCHOOL

With a top-notch curriculum, we pride ourselves on training for real results and real capabilities.  This means awarding a student stripe or rank when the technique is demonstrated with form, fluidity, and function....not from an arbitrary mark on a calendar. My name is JD Rifkin and I take great pride in the successes of my students.  I began my martial arts journey some 32 years ago and haven't stopped since.  When we opened our first school in November of 2000, I made a commitment to our students and families to create an enjoyable environment for students to improve their fitness, while building the confidence they can carry into their everyday lives.  By reinforcing material both in class and in our online home practice "Student Tutorial" videos, we ensure that our students get the maximum benefit from training at RPKC.
