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 and his wife Master Wanda Dickerson 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 from the same schools (Dojos) since 1991 at Top World Rated Tournaments.

    Many promoters had to put together a corporate sponsored team from the best competitors in the best Martial Arts (Karate) Schools in America to compete with Universal Pasha Karate School's Black Belt Teams.  With only one lose since 1991, our school of champions were victorious in all other Black Belt Team competitions, which included teams from other countries and teams all over the United States of America.

    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.  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, 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.
