ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Pathway Karate Academy is a Christian-based, family-centered Karate Academy located in the Smith Hill section of Providence, RI. We are the Hombu (Home) Dojo of the martial arts style of Nihon Koden Shindo Ryu (Pathway to God), the only US practicing location under Founding Master So-Shihan Felton Messina, and owned by Sensei Mark Mason.
Pathway Karate is more than just a sport or a club; it is a way of life. It is the pathway to the classical values of Nihon Koden Shindo Ryu: discipline, strength, respect, unity, love, humility, and trust.
We offer Youth and Adult Instruction, competitive training for local, regional, and national competitions, self-defense, and empowerment. But we are more than just a karate school!
In addition, we carry these values into our 4-Star-Rated, child-care program licensed with the Department of Human Services and offer preschool, before—and after-school, summer, and vacation camp programs.
