    I've had the opportunity to travel the country and train at a wide variety of Uechi-Ryu dojos and…read moreother martial arts schools and I can say without hesitation that this dojo is the best I've ever trained at. Sensei Thompson's reputation among other martial artists in the country and the world is incredible. He is featured in martial arts books and I've even seen high-ranking martial artists ask for his autograph. When I mention that Sensei Thompson is my Sensei when visiting other dojos, I'm met with looks of admiration and am welcomed as an honored guest. The other instructors at the school are also highly-respected members of the martial arts community. I should note here, he is a humble man and this attention is not something he seeks (this humility is also a good indicator of a reputable martial arts instructor). One of the ways you call tell a good karate martial arts school is by the number of high-ranking adults at the school and how long they've trained there. At this school, there is the largest concentration of high-ranking adults that I've ever seen. And many of them have been training for over 20 years. This says a lot; they've also had the opportunity to travel and visit other dojos and yet they keep coming back here. Finally, as a petite female, I greatly appreciate the emphasis on real-life, applicable self-defense. So many dojos I've visited focus on competitions and getting promotions in rank as fast as possible and the students that go through these schools don't have actual self-defense skills. While I have progressed in rank at a steady pace here, the ability to confidently defend myself has been the true benefit. I've had friends and coworkers comment how calm and confident I am in a variety of very tense situations and I always say that it's because of the skills I've learned at this dojo.

    A great Dojo. Friendly and Traditional.Dedicated students , who are helpful in showingread more
