Rifkin Professional Karate - U.P.M.A.A.

Owner/Master Instructor:
Rifkin Professional Karate Center has been offering instruction and training in Karate, Taekwondo, Kickboxing and Aikido since 2000. Located in Columbia, MO, Rifkin Professional Karate Center has worked hard to produce champions in life as well as in the martial arts. Because people begin their training in the Martial Arts for a wide variety of reasons, we have tailored our program to address these needs. Whether you are interested in getting fit, losing weight, improving your coordination, balance and stamina…or whether you are interested in self-defense and increased self-discipline, our program is dedicated to reaching those goals.

RPKC is unique in its approach to the training of Martial Arts. There are many schools and many styles of Martial Arts out there. We are different in that we stress detail and performance from our curriculum. Our students are taught not only the movements, but their real-life applications. Teaching a quality Martial Arts program requires a well-educated staff of instructors that can not only deliver the material in a systematic way, but can teach fun classes that students will look forward to day after day.

President, RPMAA (Rifkin Professional Martial Arts Association):
is the overseeing body unifying our member schools in quality and curriculum.
