Award Winning - Universal Pasha Karate School

Since 1984 the Universal Pasha Karate School (UPK) participated and competed in more than one thousand-twelve hundred Local, National and World Top A Rated Martial Arts (Karate) Tournaments.  Members of UPK have won thousands of trophies, awards and recognition in many prestigious Karate magazines.

Champion Martial Arts Schools that produced teams within their schools
for competition at Top World Rated Tournaments
 

 Universal Pasha Karate School, one of the most traveled and supportive schools of Martial Arts Tournaments in America.  Since 1984 Grandmaster Robert Dickerson, his wife Master Wanda Dickerson and family (THE DICKERSON FAMILY) organized one of the most  traveled Karate Schools in America.   The Universal Pasha Karate School was always recognized for bringing 15 to 35 competitors and at times over 40 competitors to many prestigious Martial Arts (Karate Tournaments) in America.   They would  sponsor and organize van and bus trips to these tournaments, especially the East Coast.   Universal Pasha Karate School have also sent their competitors to Martial Arts Tournaments all over the United States of America and abroad.

Universal Pasha Karate School is the school that produced the only undefeated Junior and Senior Black Belt (Sparring / Fighting) Team competing against other champion schools since 1991 at Top World Rated Tournaments.  We state this fact because many promoters had to put together corporate sponsored teams or borrow other students from the best competitors in the best Martial Arts (Karate) Schools in America to compete with Universal Pasha Karate School's Black Belt Teams.  We are proud to state that we have won all competitions from the corporate sponsored team of the best competitors.  With over forty team competitions we have only one lose since 1991.  Universal Pasha Karate school of champions were also victorious in all other Black Belt Team competitions, which included teams from other countries.

    I, Robert H. Dickerson earned and received my Black Belt in 1974.  I became very concerned about the decline of the inner-cities in America.  We must help develop and teach families the value of education and the understanding of love and discipline.    We must first be an example of teaching and upholding the highest of moral standards in our Karate School and most of all our families and community.  This is what I teach and expect from all Black Belt instructors and teachers of our Karate School.  My method of teaching the Martial Arts to our community is very unique.  We dedicate our time and our specialized teachings to low-income urban areas, where single parents may need the most help in the development of their children.   The Martial Arts (Karate) offers many benefits such as developing Self-Defense Skills, Self-Confidence, Self-Discipline, Self-Control, Self-Awareness, Self-Worth, Character, Moral Character and Leadership Development.   It will improve mental concentration, balance & coordination, improve your cardiovascular system, reduces stress, tension and help you express yourself physically, mentally and spiritually through body, mind and spirit.
