Agoura Karate (previously known as The Way Institute of Martial Arts) was founded in 1992 by Master Conrad Ercolono. The concept of an "Institute of Martial Arts" perpetuates Master Ercolono's personal philosophy "There are many great martial arts, one style cannot satisfy all needs in all situations. To become proficient a martial artist must practice diligently and increase his or her knowledge with an ever increasing sphere of influence."

Agoura Karate embraces all Martial Arts.  Our founding system is American Tang Soo Do, however our studies includes arts such as American Boxing, Kickboxing, Aikido, Judo, Jiu-jitsu, Kung Fu, Hapkido and the list goes on.  Master Ercolono's goal is to eliminate the ego boundaries between martial arts systems to allow different styles and stylists to learn from one another.  Agoura Karate is known for its open attitude and respect for all styles.  When you train with us, you will learn the best from all systems integrated into one total Martial Art.

Our instructors have over 20 years experience in Martial Arts training and instruction. Agoura Karate has helped hundreds of people gain proficiency in Martial Arts in a non-aggressive, positive environment.
