Your Whole Body Wellness Destination

Midwest Shorin-Ryu Health & Wellness Center (MSR) opened in June 2025 in Franklin, WI. Sensei Morganne L. MacDonald, a 7th Degree Black-belt in both karate and Okinawan weapons, co-owns the school with her husband, Vince Milewski, a 4th Degree Black-belt in karate and a 2nd Degree Black-belt in Okinawan weapons.

Sensei MacDonald began her martial arts career in the Spring of 1991 after graduating from Law School. As a young lawyer, she needed an outlet from the stress of work that engaged not only her body, but also her mind and spirit. Vince suggested martial arts, and the rest is history. She walked through Sensei Daniel Schroeder’s dojo in Hales Corners and knew she’d found an art she wanted to practice for the rest of her life.

When Sensei Schroeder passed away earlier this year, Sensei MacDonald, along with the support of her fellow students who came with her to MSR, made the decision to open her own dojo.

MSR focuses on health, well-being, strength, and agility, as well as the social aspects of practicing karate, Yoga, and other martial arts. We are actively pursuing masters of Tai Chi, Qigong, Pilates, and massage therapy to add to our team.

We offer classes that include Adult & children’s karate; Adult & teen Kobudo; Self-Defense, Women’s Self-Defense & Self-Defense for children; Yoga & Chair Yoga; and soon, Tai Chi.

Come join us on your journey to a stronger, healthier you.
