Traditional American Karate

Traditional American Karate We believe that karate is knowledge, skill, and attitude for the purpose of achieving personal development, self-mastery and self-defense.

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 popul

ar 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."
