The American Karate System is the brainchild, and dream come true, of the late Mr. Ernest H. Lieb (1940-2006), the system's founder, and 10th Degree Black Belt. When Ernie Lieb began instilling his philosophy of karate in his students, he practiced Korean Chi Do Kwan. Because he felt there were areas of the style which required modification to accommodate the American physiological structure and attitude, Ernie developed what is today known as the American Karate System. It is our intent to carry on with Ernie's hopes and dreams for the American Karate System.
