 that the job gets done.

    The Karate 5 Association takes great pride in being involved in community activities.
    We believe that being good citizens of our communities is more important than punching 
    and kicking. We will use this page to highlight some of the diverse talents that our 
    members have. The aforementioned production that Master Mason participated in will 
    be sealed in a time capsule to be opened in 50 years so the coming generations can 
    experience the awesome event.
