Welcome to Integrative Martial Arts! We look forward to meeting you and having you join our martial arts family!
ABOUT OUR KARATE SCHOOL
Integrative Martial Arts is a private training organization teaching Isshin-Ryu (One Heart Way) as our main style. We believe in a hands-on, realistic approach to self-defense that is safe and effective for children and adults. We also put a large emphasis on social and emotional learning and development.
​
Whether you have taken martial arts before, or this is your first time, our adult classes can be taken by anyone and age. We believe karate is for life and can start at anytime in your life. Join us for a journey into the mind, body and spirit connection and a welcoming community that embraces the path of personal growth.
STUDENT CREED
I will strive to develop myself in a positive manner and to avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
I will strive to develop self-discipline, in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
I will strive to use my martial development constructively and defensively, to help myself and others, and never to be abusive or offensive.

MEET OUR STAFF
Scott Cvetkovski
Chief Instructor
Shihan (Master) Scott Cvetkovski grew up in a karate school owned by his father and 9th Degree Black Belt Hanshi Jim Cvetkovski. Scott's father holds many master ranks in a wide range of style which exposed Scott (and his students) to a curriculum that was full and complete, with Isshin-Ryu Karate being the foundation on which the other style techniques were built. With this, Scott has background in Kung-Fu, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, American Kenpo, Okinawan Weapons, Kickboxing, Filipino Martial Arts, Tae Kwon Do and Shotokan. Scott's passion for the martial arts continued from childhood to adulthood becoming the Instructional Staff Manager at WNY Karate Center, assisting his father in educating over 400 students in one location. Scott's dedicated and passion for training in Isshin-Ryu Karate led him to his most recent rank of 5th Degree Black Belt, giving him the title Shihan (Master).​
