Part of Goju-Ryu Karate
Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews
Tibon’s Goju Ryu fighting arts is the best in the business ! Not only do they develop highly skilled athletes but the respect and discipline that the students learn in the dojo Really shows on how the kids interact with others and how they give back to the community. Highly recommend !!
Xaviar loves going to class and each Sensei really cares and teaches with so much patience. I'm so glad we chose Tibon's.
sensei tibon is the best sensei in stockton. teaches students respect discipline and loyalty
I have had the privilege of knowing the Tibon family for many years and actively participated at this dojo for over 9 years. I have watched other 'schools' and seen many promotions to know that Tibon's Karate cover all concerns. 1. where does it come from? There is a rich history at Tibon's.
Your first Karate class at Tibons Goju Ryu Fighting Arts
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.
