As Sensei Rudy has two beautiful daughters, Victoria and Grace, he had the idea to teach them very early how to defend themselves against bullying or other situations. Then several friends suggested also teaching at church. Sensei Rudy knew the amount of work this would require; still, he started to build Grace Karate Do out of his basement.

Now, after 15 years, Grace Karate Do has produced 7 Black Belts, homologated 1 Black Belt, as well as supported a senior citizen from another organization to obtain his 5th Dan. Grace Karate Do students have competed successfully locally, regionally, and nationally, either with AAU or USA Karate.

More importantly, Grace Karate Do has transformed and encouraged children to be the best version of themselves, with God as the center of their lives.
