GBOutstanding 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 :)

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.

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?

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
