About Us
T'AI-KARA-TE-DO™  Martial Arts Academy was started as a training ground for students of all ages and backgrounds.  We focus on martial arts training as well as self-improvement and the empowering of our students not only in a physical sense but also in a mental sense.  When it comes to our training techniques for the martial arts skills we try and focus on a more individual level.  We try to give each and every student more individual training in order to not allow them to slip through the cracks.  We want each and every student to be able to pass their tests based on their skills and not by how many months they have been attending class.  Another ideal in place is the class size.  Too many students with only one instructor are bound to have flaws in their training.  We have pre-defined how many students are in each class level in order to maximize the efficiency of their training.  As previously mentioned not only do we train martial arts skills but we also train self-improvement and empowerment both physically and mentally. The physically is mostly covered in the training of the martial arts skills themselves but the mentally takes a little more involvement.  We teach them about teamwork and leadership skills.  We like to focus on building out students from the inside out in order to create more well rounded and productive citizens.  Our students are more motivated, dedicated, and goal oriented then most their age.  We teach each and everyone of our students responsibility, dedication, determination and overall personal well being while in a goal-oriented, positive atmosphere.  In an ever changing world our children are finding it harder and harder to fit in with society.  We offer them an environment where they are always welcomed and where they can always fit in regardless.  We teach them that the dojo is a family and we love and care for our family members.  We also teach them to have respect and honor not only for themselves but also for others.  To be a good martial artist you have to find the strength within and be able to push through all the hurdles that life gives you both mentally and physically.  Our goal is to help our students to recognize these hurdles and to successfully get over them while still maintaining a sense of dignity and respect for others as well as themselves which ultimately leads to a sense of pride in all that they accomplish in life.
