Mr. Kris Yoshizumi:

Mr. Yoshizumi started his karate classes in 2002 at 11 years old and has been at Nicklaus’ Martial Arts America ever since.

Mr. Yoshizumi is a 2nd Degree Black Belt. In 2009, he graduated from Central High School in La Crosse, WI.

He’s planning to attend Viterbo University in La Crosse, pursuing:

  • Double Major:
    • Criminal Justice
    • Sociology
  • Double Minor
    • Psychology
    • Army Sciences

He will still be teaching martial arts lessons and taking karate classes as well.

Nicklaus’ Martial Arts America provides karate lessons and martial arts lessons in La Crosse, WI and Onalaska, WI area. They provide character & leadership training for kids, teens, and adults as well as fitness, stress relief, and strength training.

I really like how the kids are learning from multiple black belt instructors for a well rounded learning experience. It’s helped my son to push himself to be focused on his goal to be a little better as well as do his best every class. The karate instructors reinforce positive character building qualities that I teach at home. It’s great for my child to get that outside of home.

Since Jake has started martial arts I have seen some changes in him, good changes. He is more helpful around the house and he has really focused on staying fit and staying healthy. He was a shy child but this program has helped him come out of his shell. He has recently joined the leadership class and is motivated to become a black belt. It’s great to see your child set a goal and work hard to achieve it. This program has been great and we both look forward to the years to come.

It is amazing to see how much Jacob has grown already moving into his purple belt. The progress he’s made and the challenges he faces as he works towards his black belt has been a great feeling for us. The enthusiasm that Jake has when he comes home and learns something new that day, you know this is something Jake truly enjoys. This makes us very happy. They are all wonderful instructors. We hope that this is something Jake will continue to strive for and accomplish bigger things as he grows into a young man.
