American Karate Institute

Way of the Sphere

 OUR STYLE

"Way of the Sphere" is a unique style founded in the 1950's by Dennis Dwyer and his father, Bill, who was a Golden Gloves champion. Combining their knowledge of boxing, karate, and understanding how the body moves and reacts, they developed this system of self-defense. It was designed to enable anyone of any age, ability, or fitness level to learn to protect themselves in an effective manner.

American Karate Institute, Inc. was founded in 1985 by Dwyer's senior black belts. Using their knowledge from law enforcement, they further enhanced the style.

The current owners, Norm Dobo and Gerri Willever, relocated to the present facility where they continue the style as they guide their students to a better, more peaceful lifestyle.

Students of this style learn the art of karate as they progress in body, mind, and spirit. They will be developing good safety habits, defensive moves, awareness skills, and explore the energy around us as it relates to self-defense and to personal growth.
