Great atmosphere, wonderful instructor. My daughter has been attending the dojo for roughly 2 years, she absolutely loves it. Master Lux does a lot for the community and for the children. Couldn’t ask to be at a better dojo!

I've trained here for 10 years, drive almost an hour to get there. The owner is a great teacher, good with kids, and always working on new techniques and training methods. Every week is something different. You'll always be learning something new.

This is a great school! Our two daughters have been attending for several months now and they are super excited and can't wait for their next class. They have even invited their friends to come to check it out and they do.

Serving Shelby Township, Washington Township, & The Greater Macomb County Area
A Personal Welcome from the Owner...
Hello. My name is Adam Lux, and I am the owner, and head instructor of DLux Karate University in Shelby Township, MI. We’ve proudly served the Macomb County community since 2008, teaching martial arts with a strong focus on character development, moral integrity, and effective self-defense techniques.
Our state-of-the-art school welcomes students from the age of four to adults of any age, and we offer special discounts for families. We blend traditional martial arts techniques and history with modern principles, giving students the skills and confidence they need to meet any challenge. We specialize in supporting beginners of all learning styles, abilities and fitness levels, especially people who may be looking to get back in shape — all in a positive, caring, judgment-free environment.
At DLux Karate University, safety, respect, and encouragement are our top priorities — you’ll never feel intimidated. Our welcoming, “ego-free” team atmosphere is contagious — just ask our students or the parents of the children who train with us. Everyone progresses at their own pace, with guidance tailored to their abilities and comfort level, so you can learn with confidence and peace of mind.
Are you, your child, or someone you know being bullied at school, at work, or anywhere else? Our martial arts training helps people of all ages build the skills to handle bullies with confidence and respect. Children grow stronger in self-esteem and learn to carry themselves with confidence. Teens discover how to walk with authority, resist peer pressure, and stand tall against intimidation. Adults gain a renewed sense of self-assurance, learning how to be polite yet firm in challenging situations. In short, we help our students find their “inner voice” and the strength to stand up for themselves.
No matter your age or fitness level, you’ll immediately feel like part of our family. Our expert instructors make every new student feel welcome from day one, fostering a supportive environment where everyone encourages each other to grow and succeed. All our students learn from the start that they are part of a family, and a team. Students encourage each other to excel, and feel great about themselves, regardless of their level. Few activities can offer this kind of confidence-building support.
With dedication and our proven approach to martial arts, you’ll gain confidence, discipline, and skills that extend far beyond the mats. Come visit us or give us a call — we’ll show you why our school is truly one-of-a-kind.
– Grandmaster Adam Lux
