Operating two schools in central North Carolina, South Eastern Karate Association teaches Korean martial arts to adults and children, men and women, in Siler City and Liberty. Students range from 5-year-old white belts (beginners) to high-ranking black belts of retirement age.

:: Our Approach
    South Eastern Karate teaches self-defense using the Moo Duk Kwan system of empty-handed martial arts. Instruction emphasizes confidence, physical fitness and self-discipline. The school is directed by Master Peggy Petty Jolly, a 7th-degree black belt (7th Dan), who believes students should always come to training with an open mind and work as hard as they can.

:: Why Train?
    Students train for different reasons — exercise, self-defense, confidence and even fellowship. But, no matter what their reasons for training, all are equal in class. All dress alike. All struggle physically. All make mistakes. And all help each other improve.
    To make training available to as many as possible, membership fees are kept low, compared to many other schools, and Master Jolly works with families to accommodate special circumstances. On occasion, children may be sponsored by the school.
