Welcome to the Hastings Karate Club Website!

 

We are proud to be a YMCA program for over 28 yrs.  The Hastings Karate Club members practice out of  Northeastern Elementary & Central Elementary schools located in Hastings, Mi. We do this to keep the costs of dues down, with no contracts to sign. We take great pride in the fact that anyone can afford to take our classes.
