North Heights Karate

Teaching students karate skills while integrating Christian principles and practices, devotions and Bible memory to each class.

American Bushido-Kai Karate Association (ABKA)

ABKA-North Heights are Christ-Centered Karate classes based on a belt-advancing system–white to black–designed for growth at a personal rate. No prior skills or experience are needed to begin!

Instructor, Molly Nielsen, has developed a well-rounded curriculum that reaches beyond karate; it encompasses all concepts and techniques from mixed martial arts as well. Students will learn stances, blocking, hand striking, kicking, katas, weapon forms, tumbling, falling, ground fighting, sparring, board breaking, and self-defense techniques; such as: throwing, submissions and joint locks!

On top of teaching a variety of physical techniques, Molly integrates Christian principles and practices, devotions and Bible memory to each class.
