GBI 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?

GBOutstanding 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.

GBexcellence 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.

GBTestimony 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.

GBBest 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
