Karate USA in Charleston

Karate USA is a martial arts school in Charleston, Illinois, serving Coles County. Led by sensei Mitch Saret, who has decades of teaching and training experience, the dojo offers classes for children and adults, with an emphasis on practical skills and personal development.

Children’s martial arts instruction introduces self-defense while helping students build respect, focus, concentration, and discipline—qualities that can support them at home, at school, and beyond. Adult classes offer self-defense training and an opportunity to develop confidence in a welcoming, active setting.

Karate USA also describes a mixed martial arts program that combines wrestling, judo, jutsu, boxing, Okinawan Kempo, and Muay Thai, with training suited to both fitness and competition goals. However, these classes are currently on temporary hiatus. The school advertises a one-month offer for new students and provides information about its programs, instructors, and community through its website. Karate USA is located at 505 7th Street in Charleston and can be contacted by phone or email for inquiries about classes and enrollment.
