South Eastern Karate schools are located in Siler City and Liberty, not far from residential areas surrounding larger cities in central North Carolina.
Though instructors have distinctive styles of teaching, all schools follow the same approach handed down from Korean masters to Master Peggy Petty Jolly and then to her students.
All schools also enjoy a distinctive atmosphere of cooperation and brotherhood, where students learn not only from the instructor, but by challenging and encouraging each other to excellence.

Promotion examinations are generally held four times each year often in March, June, September and December at the school in Siler City.
Since its inception, more than 150 black belts have been awarded by Master Jolly and the South Eastern Karate Association. Over the years, students have included a member of the North Carolina General Assembly, a college strength and conditioning coach and the leader of a local economic development agency.
