Learn at LANGSTON: Karate with Tyron

Tyron Asphy, founder of Japan-American Butokukan Karate Association, has returned to the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, where he taught community karate classes over 40 years ago.

Tyron works with five instructors to offer martial arts classes to students ages 5 to 75 years old. His commitment to bringing access to discipline, flexibility, and self-defense to the Black youth and other residents in the Central District area is invaluable to the overall health and well-being of our community.
