JKA SHOTOKAN KARATE SHIBA DOJO 12566 Southwest Main Street, Tigard, OR 97223

"I trained karate in Japan. The Japanese approach to learning is different from the Western. Shiba Dojo is real Japanese karate!"

"I have been to various seminars and few dojos, sensei Shiba is one of the best. First, I do appreciate the truly traditional Japanese way of training. It includes all parts of training. Second, sensei Shiba always pays attention to everyone in the dojo, and adjusts the training accordingly. Third, though it is repetitive (it must be), it is never boring. I also think we have a good friendly group of students, some are parents with their kids, training together."

"My JKA journey began many years ago, but I stopped training after a few years when I moved to Oregon and couldn’t find a JKA Dojo. I tried various other styles of martial arts, but nothing ever felt quite right. I found Shiba Sensei’s dojo through a Google search and called him immediately. I drove an hour to watch a class and knew immediately that I would be joining. Shiba Sensei is extremely patient with beginners and doesn’t hesitate to correct early so bad habits don’t begin. His workouts are intense and fun. He stresses physical safety which I truly appreciate. His training is much more affordable than the other places where I trained, and a huge plus for me is there are NO contracts. Shiba Dojo is an excellent place to learn Shotokan karate as it’s taught in Japan."

"Great environment and folks to learn traditional Shotokan Karate. Shiba Sensei is an amazing mentor who spends time making sure the newer students learn correctly. Surprisingly affordable classes and at great value. Cannot complain whatsoever. If you're looking to improve your fitness, character, and/or learn how to fight, look no further than this dojo."

"Shiba Dojo offers an environment that is friendly, fun and professional. You'll learn how to master the art of JKA Karate with instructors that work hard to improve your learning capabilities and help you become stronger, both physically and mentally, with every lesson. Shiba Sensei makes the lessons fun and challenging! You will definitely keep coming back."
