At Traditional Karate Academy
we teach budo (martial art) karate, embracing old wisdom and together together with new sport research and training experience we keep evolving, seeking new frontiers.

For 30 years we empower kids and adults to be their best.
We instill confidence, discipline, intuition, work habits, movement skills and fitness that allow students to excel in any life endeavor.
Our students are being pushed to their limits yet are given the tools to be successful.

Since our karate is principle based every person can adapt the technique to his own body and mental composure. Students do not merely imitate the form, but rather understand the underlying principles that allow each person to be his/her own best, same principles, yet every individual has to make their own karate. karate is an art and a science.

As self defense karate is second to none, it is based on the concept of todome (finishing blow), every person can learn to make most effective technique, and than learn to use timing and distancing, so not to conflict with opponent’s strength.
Karate fighting is skill based and independent of size and strength.

Our dojo has a great learning environment, it is like a family where everyone shares the passion and help each other grow.
Classes are taught by World and US Champion, and by instructors who are all direct students of master Nishiyama, and are passionate about karate and teaching.
We are a direct lineage from master Funakoshi, the father of modern karate, Avi studied daily for 27 years under master Nishiyama, who was Master Funakoshi top student.

International teams, world and European champions come to our dojo regularly to study the highest level of karate.

Traditional karate means not to neglect the old wisdom handed to us, but rather to use it in order to seek into new frontiers.
