Shihan Jeff Ellis

I’m the owner of International Karate Center. 

When I was a child, I began my martial arts journey and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It was always my dream to someday open my own school and pass on the skills, knowledge, and inspiration the martial arts has given to me.

Now, I proudly serve the Strongville community and feel an overwhelming sense of pride and humility when I see our students grow into happier, healthier, more confident children, teens, and adults!

"SHE ENJOYS THE OTHER STUDENTS AND LEARNING..."
“Our daughter has been attending for almost a year. In this short time, she has been advancing through belts at a great pace. Master Ellis makes sure that she is also earning her black tips outside of the center. It has helped really with her confidence. She enjoys the other students and learning.”

"THERE IS A WONDERFUL BALANCE OF GROUP WORK AND ONE ON ONE INSTRUCTION..."
“Thank you, Shihan, for the many blessings and positive effects that practicing with you and the other mentors in your studio has brought to Liam and our family. Finding your karate studio and your classes came at the perfect time for us. I appreciate how specific his training is to him and where he is at presently, rather than a one size fits all approach. There is a wonderful balance of group work and one on one instruction that he receives. Thank you so very much for all of the amazing benefits and rich, positive, experiences your classes have provided for Liam. We look forward to many more opportunities to learn in your studio.”

International Karate Center

Although many people think the martial arts are just about fighting, the truth is that the physical “kicking and punching” are really just the tools that I use to teach the more important, and MUCH more valuable lessons about yourself.
