I checked out a few different karate schools in Las Vegas. My brother-in-law was mr. Miyagi Pat Morita from The Karate Kid movies. So I wanted to find a traditional karate school for my 9 year old son. Who told me he wants to take Karate.
Wax on Wax off, Sand the Floor and Paint the Fence is a must. Hahaha
Las Vegas Shotokan Karate seems to be the most traditional and been doing it longer than everybody else in Las Vegas. Founder Shihan Osamu Ozawa opened the school in 1981.
(He is a True Master and a Legend) in Karate in 1995, Master Ozawa at age 70 turned the school over to James Tawatao, a student of his since 1981.
I was very impressed with Sensei James Tawatao Chief Instructors demeanor and professionalism. he really cares about his students and wants them to train hard and do their very best and it shows in his teachings.
The other instructors are great and they really take the time and helped my son to learn the moves right. so I think that will further him in his training. the little extra care they take really shows in what he has learned in the short amount of time that he has been in Karate class
They have a great start up special $209.00 includes a karate gi and the dojo patch for three months of training. Kids classes are Monday /Thursday /Friday 5:30 to about 6:30 Dont be late. After that it's $255.00 for 3 months which is a pretty good deal and the more family members that join the cheaper it gets.
I am very happy my family gets to be a part of this historical Karate dojo.
Thank you Sensei James Tawatao for greeting my family with open arms it's an honor to be involved with your school.
