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.
INTRODUCING OUR NATIONAL PARA KARATE ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
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.

We teach traditional karate with high expectations, personalized instruction, and an understanding that students do not all learn in the same way.
