FAQ

My child has a blue belt from another system. Will his rank transfer to your school?

Similar to joining a soccer team or football team, at TKA each child will be evaluated and ranked in accordance with the International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) standards. Additionally, all Kyu ranks wear white belts.

 

My doctor recommended us to put our child into a martial arts program. Will your program provide what my doctor is talking about?

Because each child is so unique, it’s very hard to definitively answer yes or no. Our recommendation is to observe a youth class and talk to the instructor to see if your child will benefit from this program.

 

My child is attentive and motivated, but not coordinated, will s/he fit in?

Your child is perfect for our Youth Program. We’ll help to develop coordination through training.

 

Who will teach the courses?

Sensei Shimoji is the primary instructor and has established all class curriculums. He has over three decades of experience in martial arts and is the direct student of Hidetaka Nishiyama, the world-renowned teacher of Traditional Karate.

 

What makes your program different from others?
There are several key areas that we believe sets us apart from other schools:

  1. We focus on teaching each child based on their unique characteristics.

  2. Extrinsic motivation factors such as colored belts, competition medals, and the like are a distant second to developing and nurturing a child’s genuine interest to learn a specialized art form such as Traditional Karate. We strive to foster a child’s internal motivation.

  3. We teach fundamental body movement that combines mind, body, and spirit.
