Welcome!

WELCOME TO KARATE FOR ALL

Karate For All was founded in 2001 by Wayne Centra, MOTR/L, SWC, a pediatric occupational therapist with over 35 years of martial arts experience and a 4th degree black belt in Shōtōkan Karate and Shitō-Ryū Karate.  Wayne was trained by his Sensei, Fumio Demura, also famously known as "The Real Mr. Miyagi." He also has over 20 years of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist, trained in typical and atypical development, Sensory Integration, and Neuro-Development Treatment.  

Karate for All is a unique martial arts program that combines the Art of Karate-Do with the knowledge of occupational therapy, developed for all children and teenagers. Our program was the Winner of the Innovation Award at the Children's Hospital of Orange County, Gala Awards Banquet.  Wayne Centra has also been recognized nationally by NEWSWEEK Magazine for the Giving Back Awards honoring Americans doing extraordinary things, alongside Brad Pitt; Wayne was honored as one of eight hometown heroes by NEWSWEEK.

As a martial arts instructor with a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy, Wayne Centra is able to combine the discipline of martial arts with his knowledge of occupational therapy to analyze and enhance each individual student’s skills and abilities, such as knowledge of self-defense, strength and flexibility, attention span, focus, motor skills, as well as self-esteem and confidence, so that each student can be successful in the community.
