Hombu - National Headquarters for 50 years
COMPARE US TO ANY SCHOOL.....
YOU SHOULD KNOW THE FACTS
-
This school (the original) was the oldest, largest, and most well-known and respected martial arts institution in the entire South Bay area. It is one of the oldest and largest in the United States.
-
The school has been in business for over 50 years, a "half century" teaching and serving our community.
-
We have trained over 50,000 people in self-defense and martial arts, both in our headquarters and with our Black Belt training videos. We also teach seminars to elementary and middle school children in non-violent self-defense and self-esteem programs offered to public and private schools.
- We have a new dojo in Redondo Beach, California, with certified Sensei Norbert Fernandez, Sandan, (trained for 30 years) and Black Belt Instructor, Elton Rayburn. The school was chosen BEST MARTIAL ARTS DOJO for two years in MANHATTAN BEACH 2010-2012. It has a great Karate Kids program, with adults who have trained for over 20 years attending. Aikijujitsu is taught free, as a self-defense adjunct to the traditional Karate.
