The Nackord Karate System has been in operation since 1969 and has taught literally thousands of students. It is led by Dennis Nackord, 9th degree black belt and karate school owner.

The NKS is a spacious martial arts training center conveniently located in Wayne, PA, in the Gateway shopping center. A big feature setting the Nackord System apart from other schools is the experience and strength of its instructor staff. Many of our staff have been with Mr. Nackord for over 25 years and are still actively teaching. All NKS classes are taught by high-ranking adult black belts. Many of our instructors are also doctors, lawyers, artists, physicists, and school teachers.

While most karate schools locally and nationally teach about 90% children, the Nackord System teaches over 50% adults. This makes for a very mature school where adults can train realistically with instructors who know how to teach them. Today it’s rare to find a martial arts school with a large adult population. Many cater to children and there are few if any adults to train with. And sometimes children and adults are in the same classes. NKS has separate classes for adults and children to address their different needs.
