ABOUT
We love KIDS! We treat them like they are our own.
We are more than a team, we are FAMILY!
UKC Kids, is a division of United Karate Concepts.
United Karate Concepts is a Christian-based martial arts system. Our main discipline is Senka Te Karate Do. The system was founded by Grandmaster Leonard Haney.
United Karate Concepts and UKC Kids operate from THREE locations. During the school year, classes are conducted at North Florida Christian School, the Northside Community Center and beginning in January 2022 at Community Christian School.
Senka Te is a dynamic combat karate system with typical progression towards black belt status for teens and adults. Information on our teen/adult classes can be found by clicking here.
We teach that Martial Arts is NOT about fighting, but about developing a strong mind and body. With this, the student is more capable of making good decisions which will help them be good examples; providing opportunities to help others...not hurt them. Our system teaches strong & practical self defense, safety techniques & tips, conflict resolution, health & fitness, & children's sparring forms.

Our Beliefs
The mission of United Karate Concepts is the constant striving towards the perfecting of the mind and body, while seeking to serve God with a dedicated soul and loving heart for our fellow man.
The goal of this self-defense system is to build a compassionate, loving warrior; one who is not afraid to deal with conflict, yet humble and honorable enough to serve God.
The Savior - Do You Know Him?
We can develop our bodies and our minds for peak performance, agility and skill; but unless you know Him, it is for naught.
It is only through the strength of Jesus Christ that we are able to triumph. Even if our bodies and applied systems fail us, we can rest assured that in our infirmity, He will be with us and provide all of the power that we need for the moment.
United Karate Concepts exists to glorify Jesus Christ. We are here to bring honor and reverence to our Creator, by strengthening the “temple,” while fortifying the spirit.
To God Be The Glory!
The Plan! Yes ~ There is a Plan!
To bring together all the elements required for a sound body, mind and spirit, the very first step is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died for each one of us and all you have to do is repent of your sins and ask Him into your heart.
Master Leonard Haney, would welcome the opportunity to show you how you can be saved; or if you are saved, how you can recommit your life to Christ. There is nothing more important or vital for you today, than to get this settled.
Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle.
Psalms 144:1
