Merrimack Karate Owner

Hi, I’m Rick Giroux.

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING
FINDING A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL CAN BE.

I remember when I was a child, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn’t the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!

When I opened my school in 1996, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Merrimack by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.
