Welcome to Trad Am Karate school in Santee California. We provide great martial arts training for kids, teens and adults. You'll like our low fees which are month to month and there are no long term contracts to sign.  We recommend that you read our information, call or come in and get signed up.

Karate kids, teens and adults can train individually, or as a parent and youth duo or trio in our popular family classes. The entire family can block, punch and kick their way to better physical and mental fitness, heightened focus and concentration and improved confidence and self-esteem. A favorite slogan here at Trad Am is, "the family that punches and kicks together, sticks together."

Trad Am Karate teaches Traditional American Karate (TAK), an eclectic martial arts system that began in Southern California in 1982. TAK is based on shorin-ryu, shotokan and kung fu and incorporates techniques from judo, jujutsu, aikido, American Karate, kenpo and kickboxing.  Weaponry is also included in TAKs expansive martial arts catalog. To learn more, click "About TAK" on the tool bar, and then come on over to the dojo and get started. Thanks for visiting our web site and we appreciate your interest in Trad Am Karate.
