About Valley Traditional Karate

Our school of karate is called Shotokan (JKA - Japan Karate Association style). The founding father was Gichin Funakoshi. We are a member of the most historic and renowned national traditional karate federation, the American Amateur Karate Federation (AAKF www.aakf.org). The AAKF is the sole US national representative of the International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF www.itkf.org)

Like our associates our goal is to develop and nurture karate as Budo as was taught to us by Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama (1928-2008). We want to share its benefits and better the life of as many people in the community and worldwide.

We also have a very tight bond with both the TKA - Traditional Karate Academy (www.truebudokarate.com) and the NKI - National Karate Institute (www.nkidojo.com). These dojos are both located in Los Angeles. Various students from both dojos train with us throughout the year as we do with them.
