Our History:
Owner Ken Klotz started teaching martial arts at 14 years old. Today he has over 48 years of teaching experience and is a 6th-degree black belt. As a natural competitor, he was passionate about uplifting those around him and teaching new skills. Ken had a talent for helping others and breaking down information. His deep connection to karate pushed him to pursue opening a school and to share the benefits of martial arts with the community. The first Klotz Institute of Karate opened its doors in 1987 in Bowie, Maryland. Seventeen years later, Ken opened the doors to his second location in Columbia. Now, after all these years, Ken is still as passionate as ever and is grateful to live out his passion every day.
