Inland Empire Martial Arts Academy

Inland Empire Martial Arts Academy Scott Haga currently holds the rank of 6th degree black belt. Has been instructing children and adults for over 25 years. Welcome Yucaipa Shotokan.

Shotokan Karate is a traditional style of karate from Japan. The Japanese translation of karate is “empty hand.” The word “traditional” involves striving for personal excellence with a sound scientific basis for our technical practice. Our purpose is self-realization. Students improve in the areas of confidence, concentration, self-discipline, and fitness. Appreciation for others is highly valued;

merely learning how to fight is not. Nobody sits on the bench in our classes. All students get the benefit of being on the best team without being required to spar or enter competition. These positive values can be instilled only if a commitment to practice is made and honored. We are a family of dedicated and committed students and parents, and we are looking to attract other families equally dedicated.

“The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.”

Karate is more than just kicks and punches. It is a practice, a discipline, and a way to enlighten oneself with a variant of styles. Shotokan is a style of Japanese martial arts practiced throughout many dojos across the world. Physical & Emotional Well Being For All Ages

“The most important thing about karate is basic training and communication.

Many young today will train extremely hard for a little while and then stop. This is not good. You must train a little bit, but you must train often. Consistency is what creates a great martial artist, not brute strength. Karate is not for a rank, glory or for revenge. It is way of life: A way to protect yourself, a way to build health, and a way to bring people together. When we train, we train as a community, so that we can push each other to become better than yesterday. I think of a dojo like a melting pot, it can bring many different people to do the same thing, at the same time, in the same place. It makes people homogeneous. This type of environment creates peace. Karate is about creating peace.”

How long does it take to become proficient in karate?

The time it takes to become proficient varies upon the consistency of training and your own abilities. The path to karate proficiency is paved with dedication, more than just time. It’s the quality of hours spent, not the quantity. The quality of the instruction matters too. A knowledgeable teachers guidance will ensure you develop your skills effectively and safely, both physically and mentally.

Your focus should be on your own self-improvement and developing your skills, understanding the principles and techniques. Making them your own, takes time…… Lots of time.

There are no short cuts, but with consistent effort, with patience and dedication, you’ll achieve your goals. - Now, go train.
