Welcome to the Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate School of Northern Virginia(formerly East Meets West Karate Club of Northern VA). We train in Matsubayashi/Ueshiro Style Shorin-Ryu  The karate school was established in 1998 with training locations conveniently located:

• Compton Village Community Center 14401 Compton Village Drive Centreville, VA
• Glade Community Center located at 11550 Glade Drive Reston, VA

Our fundamental approach of vigorous training in a non-competitive environment frees all of our students to become their best, never at the expense of another and never by pitting ego against ego. While learning the aspects of self defense, we work together in a spirit of harmony.

The school's Dan Level instructor staff has grown to five- teaching (3) 1 1/2 hours classes per week.

Membership in the Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate School is open to everyone over the age of 8. Payment method for students is monthly- no contract required. The training fee is $35 per month with a 10% discount for children/families. Uniforms (Gi) are purchased separately for a nominal cost.
