Camp Carter was founded by Grandmaster / Hanshi James Carter, whose martial quest began in high school and led him to master styles such as Karate, Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Weapons arts, and more. From its humble beginnings in San Jose, California, the academy has grown into a global community with affiliates across continents.
