Outstanding

I've been with this dojo ever since I was around 11 years old. I am now 20. When I first joined, I was struggling with my self-worth and I was a victim of bullying for several years of my life. I not only wanted to learn how to defend myself, but to learn how to grow as a human being in mind, body, and soul. Soke, Shihan, and all my Senpais were able to show me the way and I could not thank them enough for how much they've done to change the negative aspects in my life. We're a family and you can become a part of it if you join the dojo :)

excellence in training

I have trained under Shihan Stan Smith for 10+ years. His level of knowledge and ability to pass it along to others is second to none.You will enjoy your time here improving both the self and the spirit.

I’d give more than 5 stars if I could!

I’ve been training here for almost six years now, and I can confidently say that this is the best martial arts studio I’ve ever been to. Shihan Stan Smith is an excellent teacher who has cultivated a dojo space where students learn life lessons like humility and discipline...not just empty hand and weapons katas. The other students have become like family to me, and I enjoy growing and pushing myself to improve! In addition, this is a fantastic dojo for Christian practitioners who want to learn from a godly source. I may have given it five stars, but I wish I could give more. Check it out - it’ll change your life!

I tried several dojos but this is a perfect fit

I have tried several dojos and different styles of martial arts but was never fully satisfied until I found Traditional Karate and Aikido. Shehan has a vast knowledge of martial arts and experience that stretch several years. I have finally found my forever dojo, the instruction, the professionalism, and the atmosphere are top notch. I would encourage anyone that has not found the "right" dojo to come and visit, who knows maybe you'll make this your permanent dojo?

Best Karate Studio!

My four children have been students of this amazing studio over the last two decades. Working towards their black belts they have learned discipline, resilience, self defense and confidence. I feel blessed that we found Shihan Smith and Traditional Karate and Akido

Outstanding Experience & Training

I started my journey with Shihan Stan Smith over 15 years ago. He is the absolute best Sensei I have ever trained with. He lives his training every day and works hard to perfect lessons and techniques. Both of my children (now grown) have ranked as black belts and Have very fond memories of their training. Shihan is an excellent with children, so if you care about your kids well-being and want to instill lessons and character traits that keep them safe and healthy look no further than this dojo. It’s awesome.

Testimony of a Longtime Aikido Student

I am very happy with this dojo; I've been training there since 2005. Not only does this school teach a very accurate curriculum of martial arts, it also teaches values of respect, discipline, and confidence. Shihan Stan Smith is very passionate and enthusiastic towards the arts alongside teaching them. Over the years training with Shihan (and our late Soke), I've seen and felt the results in myself, not only in martial prowess but in my own character as well.

The average person who enrolls to…

The average person who enrolls to practice something can last from 30 days to several years and the instructor makes the difference, just like at this dojo. I have trained martial arts for 13 years now and if it wasn't for the encouragement from Sensei Smith, I would probably had moved on to something else. The help and support from all the other students its a great help but the fact that what we practice is not just physical but it has helped mold our character to use in our daily life, make it the best place to be.
