(5th degree black belt)

Yoshukai Karate proves itself to become a way of life to those who ‘train seriously with heart and soul’. Between the tradition of Yoshukai and the dedication and respect to Yoshukai by Dugan Sensei and his students, we will remain known as the most traditional style of martial arts.

Mrs. Emilie Tapscott, Shodan
(1st degree black belt)

Through the mutual respect among the karateka I’ve gained respect for others and myself. What puts Yoshukai Alliance above the other styles for me is that it’s more than a school of karate, but a school of moral principles, and a family to it’s students.

Yoshukai is a lifestyle, not an exercise program; it becomes a part of you. Once a karateka, always a karateka. Training seriously means training and being your best both inside and out outside of the dojo.

I wouldn’t be where I am right now mentally or physically. Yoshukai has taught me how my mind can tell me how to fight through the pain. You can accomplish anything if you tell your mind to do it.
