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.

(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.

Mr. Taylor Hoinacki, Nidan
(2nd degree black belt)

Yoshukai karate has taught me some great characteristics for my everyday life such as patience. Patience is hard to find in the American culture, due to things being so instant. Striving to do the best, is also something I have learned while training in karate! Have to work very hard everyday on everything I do, such as school work, and everyday chores. I am excited to see where karate takes me in the future.

(1st degree black belt)

The ultimate goal of Yoshukai Karate is character development, which has definitely proven true to me. Yoshukai made me realize at an early age that I would need to put in hard work to succeed. Without that lesson, I would definitely be struggling in school.

Mr. Lanning – Sandan
(3rd degree black belt)

I chose Yoshukai Karate because it is a traditional Japanese hard-style of martial arts. I enjoy the workouts and the study of traditional Japanese weaponry. Sensei Dugan is a great instructor that teaches this style of martial art because of his passion and belief in Yoshukai Karate.
