The Reid and Lail Karate School of Oyama was founded by Master Coy Reid in the 1970's. Master Reid trained directly under Master Darrell Wilson who was responsible for promoting Reid to the rank of black belt in Kyokushinkai karate. Master Dale Lail recieved his promotion to black belt and eventually Master under the teaching of Master Reid. Master Lail has since taken over as head instructor of the dojo and continues to teach the same style Master Reid was taught nearly 50 years ago.
The Karate School of Oyama was one of the first martial art dojos in Catawba County and is the longest running dojo in county history. Our dojo and our style has a strong tradition which can be traced back to it's roots.
We offer both classes for kids and adults and allow both to train with each other which offers a family oriented atmosphere. Our classes are on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm. The montly dues are $45.00 per month with no origination or start up fee.
