A unique community resource for over three decades.
Founder George Takahashi has been a leader in the Southern California martial arts scene for over 35 years.
Our fees are the lowest in the area. Instructors receive no compensation other than returning something of what they've gotten from the art. Fees go toward paying our facilities and equipment costs. Indeed, instructors and advanced students actually pay higher fees than beginning students to allow newcomers to investigate the martial arts as inexpensively as possible.
We emphasize mind and body development through the art of traditional Japanese Shotokan style karate-do (the way of karate).
Visitors and observers are welcome. Please feel free to drop by as often as you like, and to talk to any of our students and/or instructors. You'll find us friendly and ready to answer any questions you have.
