Taido Karate

Best karate dojo, I went there when I was a child and the memories and lessons learned are still ingrained in me. I urge you to send your kids here to learn the art of karate and self defense from true masters! I hope sensei Fuchida is doing well!!

Taido Karate was a blessing for me and my family. The teaching is rigorous, but done with care. The school perfectly balances the rituals of Japanese culture with the needs of American students. It helped my son learn focus and discipline. I spent countless hours for more than a decade practicing Taido with people who became life long friends. The lack of long term contracts and the dedication of the students to this school epitomizes what a karate school should be based upon.

This karate school is amazing. All of the instructors are amazing, and patient, and do an amazing job with the kids, and we’ve seen so much growth from our child here both in and out of karate. And we love that they hold kids to a high standard. Our 5 year started in July. We’ve never seen him have so much fun and work so hard. He practices all the time at home without any prompting from us. He just loves it. And it’s definitely improved his focus. You would not believe the number of steps and coordinated movements he’s learned and memorized in Japanese is such a short time. We researched places extensively before trying it out, and we are so grateful we have our son here. Highly recommended!

My two daughters have attended U.S. Taido since 2019 and are on track to become black belts in one more year. The school is a family-owned and run business, founded in 1975 by Mitsunobu Uchida, a first-generation Japanese immigrant. It's one of the oldest martial arts schools in the country. The longevity of U.S. Taido is testimony to its positive impact on the community and the thousands of students who have trained here and at sister schools across the country. U.S. Taido and its instructors are committed to training and mentoring students, from elementary-aged children to senior citizens. The instructors can be tough, but they have genuine concern for their students. Lifelong friendships and bonds are forged here, not only between students, but also families. My children have learned karate and discipline, but valuable life lessons as well. U.S. Taido has helped them to grow physically, mentally, and ethically. As a parent, I have the utmost confidence that the instructors are invested in my children's safety and well-being. Though I don't train at U.S. Taido myself, my wife and I have received tremendous encouragement from the wholesome family atmosphere and community the school has built. I hope to support the school and its mission for many years to come.

My son has almost made his year mark with Taido. We initially signed him up hoping to assist with building confidence, character and discipline. I must say how proud I am that he is doing very well . He struggles like many child with "I don't wanna go today" or "Do I have to" as he doesn't like to try new things but each instructor is patient and extremely encouraging. Thank you so much for what you do not just for my son but for so many other children that attend. I definitely can see an improvement as he is beginning to see his strength and build his confidence.
