Karate: Beyond Self-Defense
Shudokan Karate-Do is a traditional Okinawan martial art that emphasizes practical self-defense, lifelong training, and a strong sense of community. While karate is at the core of our teachings, TMAA of Yakima, formally known as the Yakima School of Karate, has expanded to include a weapons program, including Batto-Do (Japanese sword), providing students with a well-rounded martial arts education.
Our instructors go beyond teaching techniques—they instill respect, kindness, patience, and perseverance in every class. Whether you're looking to improve fitness, build confidence, learn self-defense, or become part of a supportive community, training at TMAA of Yakima is about more than just martial arts—it’s about personal growth, discipline, and becoming the best version of yourself.
We are excited to announce our new location and partnership with
