We believe ourselves to be a traditional Dojo - in that the goal of our training is the personal development of our members. There are no training fees at the Mid West Valley Karate Club, and the only costs to students are ranking examination fees. Karate Club members include students, faculty, and staff of Creighton University and their families. In addition, we have a few members from the general public who are not formally associated with the University. Our members range in age from 14 to over 60, and include about equal numbers of men and women.
Classes range in size from as few as three to more than twenty.
The only requirements are that our members train hard, and always strive to improve themselves. The Mid West Valley Karate Club was founded by our senior instructors Anton Ehrhardt sensei and Nancy Ehrhardt sensei. Dr. Anton Ehrhardt was an assistant professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology, Creighton University School of Medicine. His current rank is certified by the Challenge Karate Organization. Dr. Ehrhardt has been teaching Shotokan since 1978.
