What our students have to say
Karate has helped my three kids (18, 13, and 11 years) in many ways. They are athletically fit, focused, they have learned about goal setting, and they know a little bit of Japanese too, after five years.
If you enroll your kids at Tanaka's Martial Arts Academy, you will see positive changes very quickly. It is a great sport, and they will learn lifelong skills, and you will be able to rest assured that they will be able to protect themselves.

Karate is very good for your kids, especially if they have trouble with confidence or focus. Learning Karate has taught my 7-year-old daughter to be more confident and teach her to use her manners and be more outspoken. I recommend Tanaka's Martial Arts Academy because they are very friendly and patient with the kids.

My son has been attending Tanaka's Martial Arts Academy for three years now, and I recommend it for every kid. Mr. Tanaka maintains the structure and balance in his class that I expect as a parent. He makes things fun for the kids while still maintaining discipline, and he presents the same manners and behaviors that, as parents, we also try to instill in our children. Sensei Tanaka is also always teaching different facts such as history or present-day events, math, etc. Karate is something that will help your children all their lives. It teaches them self discipline as well as mental and physical exercise.
- Alan M.
If you are willing to commit to an endeavor that will change your life for the better, an experience that can help you cope with troubles, past, present and future; then Karate will give you a feeling of well being and a level of confidence your may have never experienced before. I have benefitted from Karate on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. I believe Karate has saved my life on several occasions because self-defense is much more than facing attackers; it is being prepared, body and mind, for the danger life itself can throw at us.
- Robert M.
Karate is much more than another sport; it's a way of living your life. Ever since I started Karate at Tanaka's Martial Arts Academy, I feel so reenergized and excited about doing something that not only keeps me physically fit but also sharpens my mental abilities

My grandson, Tyler, was really struggling in many areas of his life at age 12. ADHD made it difficult to focus his mind and get emotions under control. He was bullied at school and just did not fit in. I was determined to get him help, and his mom wanted him to attend Tanaka's Martial Arts Academy because of all the good things she had heard about Mr. Tanaka. What has happened in his life is almost unbelievable! Tyler just finished his freshman year, and his grades have improved greatly. He is a happy young man. Tyler says, " I don't know where I would be if I hadn't come to Mr. Tanaka's"!
Our entire family joins in Tyler's thankfulness. You are the best, Mr. Tanaka. Thank you for caring!
