About Us
Our System
The Ganster Karate System is a martial arts school founded by Bart L. Ganster in 1980. The Ganster Dojo has been a Berks County staple for over 45 years with locations currently in Mt. Penn and Hamburg, PA. We practice the karate art of Isshin Jitsu, which is a combination of both Isshin Ryu and Aikijitsu karate techniques. The strong devastating moves of Isshin Ryu accompanied by the joint locking and throwing techniques of Aikijitsu make for a consistent and decisive method of keeping your attacker off balance and under control. The combination of these arts make for one powerful and complete system.
