5 WAYS TO TRAIN AT GREEN’S KARATE
ONE MISSION. FIVE OPPORTUNITIES. NO GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDRIES.
For nearly 29 years, Green’s Karate has been dedicated to teaching traditional martial arts, developing athletes, and helping individuals of all abilities reach their potential.
Now, we’re expanding beyond the walls of our Chattanooga dojo, providing local, national, and international opportunities to train.
Whether you’re a beginner, a parent looking for a home-training solution, or an athlete pursuing competitive excellence, there’s a way to train with us.
Traditional In-Person Training
Experience authentic Shito-Ryu karate at Green’s Karate in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our programs provide structured instruction in traditional techniques, kata, self-defense, discipline, confidence, and physical development.
We welcome children, teens, adults, and individuals with different learning needs and abilities.
International Virtual Training Through Outschool
Train from home through live, interactive karate classes taught by Sensei Corey Green on the Outschool educational platform.
Designed for homeschool families and other learners, these classes introduce traditional karate through structured instruction, repetition, and progressive skill development.
Students can participate from eligible locations around the world.
GREEN METHODS at HOME – PARENT-GUIDED TRAINING
Our proprietary home-training system empowers parents to help their children develop foundational skills without requiring previous martial arts experience.
Using specialized training tools, instructional videos, and structured learning methods, families can work on coordination, balance, focus, spatial awareness, and movement skills at home.
Opportunities for additional virtual instruction with Sensei Green may also be available by appointment.
AMERICA’S FIRST INDEPENDENT SELF-FUNDED NATIONAL PARA KARATE PROGRAM
Green’s Karate is expanding opportunities for athletes with disabilities through our independently operated national development program using proprietary teaching methods.
The program supports athletes with intellectual disabilities, blindness or visual impairments, and wheelchair athletes.
Through individualized instruction, home-training opportunities, and progressive development, our goal is to help participants build skills and, when appropriate, pursue competitive karate at regional, national, and potentially international levels.
DIRECT EVENING VIRTUAL KARATE TRAINING (Coming Soon)
Want to train directly with Sensei Corey Green without enrolling through a third-party educational platform?
Our upcoming evening virtual training opportunities will provide live karate instruction directly through Green’s Karate.
These sessions will offer an additional option for students and families seeking traditional martial arts instruction from the convenience of home.
One Mission. Unlimited Possibilities.
At Green’s Karate, we believe that where you live should not determine your opportunity to learn.
From our traditional dojo in Chattanooga to families training across the country and around the world, we are creating new opportunities for martial arts education through experience, innovation, and dedication.
Five ways to train. One mission. Your journey starts here.
Green’s Karate — Established January 17, 1998
INTRODUCING OUR NATIONAL PARA KARATE ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
AUTHENTIC KARATE. PROVEN LEGACY. A NEW NATIONAL VISION.
Where Karate Tradition Builds the Future.
Traditional Shito-Ryu karate instruction for children, teenagers, and adults in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
From absolute beginners to national and international competitors, Green’s Karate has been developing confidence, discipline, self-defense skills, and martial arts excellence since 1998.
Nearly 30 Years of Teaching. 23 Historical Firsts and Milestones. One Commitment to Student Development.
FROM BEGINNER TO ELITE. FROM POSSIBILITY TO OPPORTUNITY.
Green’s Karate has announced an independently operated, privately funded, nationwide Para Karate recruitment and athlete-development initiative.
Founded by Sensei Corey Green, this program is designed to identify, recruit, and develop individuals with disabilities through a structured five-year pathway, beginning with fundamental karate instruction and progressing toward competitive opportunities for those who qualify.
Athletes do not need previous martial arts experience.
Our objective is not simply to train athletes who are already accomplished. It is to develop individuals who may one day become accomplished athletes.
Initial interviews and evaluations are planned to begin in December 2026.
The program is headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with nationwide recruitment inquiries welcomed.
ONE DOJO. ALL ABILITIES. REAL KARATE.
At Green’s Karate, we believe that the opportunity to learn authentic martial arts should not be limited by age, experience, or disability.
Our students include young beginners, adults, individuals with developmental and physical disabilities, and athletes who have represented the United States internationally.
We teach traditional karate with high expectations, personalized instruction, and an understanding that students do not all learn in the same way.
Whether your goal is self-defense, confidence, physical development, a black belt, or competition, every journey begins with a foundation.
GREEN METHODS™ — A NEW WAY TO TEACH AND LEARN
WE DON’T LOWER THE STANDARD. WE CHANGE THE PATHWAY TO ACHIEVING IT.
Developed through nearly three decades of martial arts instruction, Green Methods is Sensei Corey Green’s proprietary multisensory teaching system.
It was created through years of working with students possessing different learning styles, abilities, and instructional needs.
Today, Green Methods forms an instructional foundation for both our national Para Karate athlete-development initiative and our Green Methods at Home program.
GREEN METHODS™ AT HOME HAS ARRIVED
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW KARATE. I TEACH YOU HOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILD.
Our three-part home instruction system includes a comprehensive martial arts textbook, proprietary instructional videos and methods, and specialized teaching tools.
Designed for families, parents, and authorized caregivers, the program offers a structured approach to teaching martial arts at home.
No previous martial arts instruction experience is necessary.
23 HISTORICAL FIRSTS AND MILESTONES
A HISTORY OF BREAKING BARRIERS
Green’s Karate has documented 23 historical firsts and milestones in martial arts, including accomplishments involving athletes with autism, blindness, and physical disabilities.
Our history includes groundbreaking competitive achievements by Brandon Earnshaw, Katie Dietsche, Katie Whipple, Ryan Rogers, and Joel Westbrook.
From national competition milestones to athletes representing the United States on the international stage, these accomplishments reflect decades of perseverance, individualized instruction, and dedicated student development.
These achievements helped shape the instructional philosophy behind Green Methods and the new national athlete-development initiative.
