About this gym

Upstate Karate is Ray Thompson's Upstate Karate Family Martial Arts Center, serving the Upstate since 1983. The school is dedicated to helping others develop confidence through self-defense skills, and the United Martial Arts Association currently ranks it in the top 10 martial arts schools in the US, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain. As a family-owned dojo operated by the Thompson family, including the legendary Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, they provide karate instruction focused on the nature and structure of conflicts and resolving them peacefully. The facility is approximately 20,000 square feet with 6,000 sq ft of mat space, a full-size kickboxing ring, a 24 ft cage, a workout room, a heavy bag area, showers, and dressing rooms, plus a full-size after-school area with reading and school materials.
