| About Us  Chun Kuk Do™ (CKD) is a Korean-based American hard style of karate. The style was founded by Mr. Chuck Norris, and was originally based on Mr. Norris' Tang Soo Do training in Korea while he was in the military. During his unprecedented competitive fighting career (undefeated world middleweight karate champion six years running), Mr. Norris began to evolve the style to make it more effective and well-rounded. He did this through committed study of other systems which he felt would complement his Tang Soo Do foundation. This evolution, along with his personal commitment to excellence, resulted in his phenomenal success. This openness continues today, as Chun Kuk Do™ continues to evolve to include aspects of other systems, or completely original aspects which make it more complete. Having gone by several names since the early 70's, the style has been known as Chun Kuk Do™ since 1990. The name is loosely translated to mean "The Universal Way." The Korean terms actually mean 'the way of 1000 lands,' or 'the way of many lands.' CKD is not an ad hoc collection of various techniques from different systems. Rather, it is a style with a deeply-rooted traditional foundation of its own - now unique and different from its Tang Soo Do predecessor - to which various other elements that complement its fundamentals have been added. Chun Kuk Do™ has come to emphasize self defense, competition, weapons, grappling, fitness, and more.
Chun Kuk Do™ is not a "Christian" martial art. Dunamis Karate, however, is a Christian karate school. We incorporate the development of Godly characteristics and Biblical principles along with the martial arts training. Our students learn about Compassion, Humility, Honesty, Loyalty and more and they learn how to apply these principles in their martial arts and in their daily lives.
Acts 1:8 reads ... "But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere – in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Power comes from the Greek word Dunamis which means "strength, power, ability"
It’s pronounced Doo'na-mis!!
Company History Dunamis Karate started in January 2001, as an outreach ministry of Low Country Reformation Ministries. Dunamis Karate ran as an outreach ministry of LCRM for two and a half years then in June of 2003, moved into a larger commercial location. In 2005, we purchased our present building and the dojo continues to flourish. Our mission remains the same: to help students grow... spirit, soul & body, equipping the leaders of tomorrow!
