Mind our Business: National Karate Academy

We love our Cutler Bay small businesses and we want to help increase awareness about the many services, goods and programs they provide in our community, so we've developed a new video segment (Mind our Business) where we will highlight different local businesses throughout the year.

Watch Vice Mayor Michael Callahan during his visit to the first business we're highlighting—the National Karate Academy. This family-owned business is located in the Old Cutler Town Center (20435 Old Cutler Rd, Cutler Bay, FL 33189). Operating since 1985, the Rogg family offers karate classes, a kids summer camp and after school care program, and dance classes. Check out them out!
