My two daughters have attended U.S. Taido since 2019 and are on track to become black belts in one more year. The school is a family-owned and run business, founded in 1975 by Mitsunobu Uchida, a first-generation Japanese immigrant. It's one of the oldest martial arts schools in the country. The longevity of U.S.
This karate school is amazing. All of the instructors are amazing, and patient, and do an amazing job with the kids, and we’ve seen so much growth from our child here both in and out of karate. And we love that they hold kids to a high standard. Our 5 year started in July.
My son has almost made his year mark with Taido. We initially signed him up hoping to assist with building confidence, character and discipline. I must say how proud I am that he is doing very well .
New to Karate? Start at Taido Karate
Taido Karate comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Taido Karate
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
