History of our dojo
Our founder, Kiyoshi Tim Rosanelli, opened M.I.K in 2004 in Dublin, PA. With decades of experience, he owned and operated the school until 2026, building a dojo rooted in discipline, respect, and strong martial arts tradition. Today, his student of 15 years and son-in-law, Sensei Justin Olivieri, continues to uphold and guide those values at M.I.K proudly.

Testimonies
“We love this place. They helped make my preschooler be confident in a social setting through their little ninja program. They worked with my son to stand up for himself if anyone tries to overpower him with not so friendly intentions. I have seen Sensei Justin kneel down to talk to younger kids and make them comfortable. If any kid is not in mood to go inside for the class they usually come out, talk to the kid, make them comfortable to step in and give importance to that kid to make them feel included.”

“My son had been asking to sign up for karate for a long time. I’m so happy that we finally did and that we chose Maximum Impact Karate! The instructors are so good with the kids, and I was amazed at how they know every child’s name! My son is loving it and we couldn’t be happier!”
