"This all sounds great,but who are you guys? What makes your dojo better?"

Glad you asked...
My name is Jason Stanley and I've been teaching karate since 1991 and practicing martial arts
for almost 25 years. I hold the rank of 4th dan black belt in Shitoryu Karate - which is one of the 4 major styles of karate as recognized by the World Karate Federation. |

After moving to the USA in 2002 and not being able to find a traditional karate school that taught the style I practice for 60 miles, it left me no option but to open my own dojo.
So that's what I did!
For 18 months I taught karate at the Lake Community Center here in Lake Elsinore. My students and I have featured in the Rancho News, The Valley Sun Tribune and The Press Enterprise. We've also performed demonstrations at the Lake Elsinore Women's Club, the Children's Easter Fair and Winterfest!
We outgrew our home at the Lake Community Center, and opened Lake Elsinore's only full time professional karate dojo to provide you with...
- better instruction - we keep the student to teacher ratio LOW so students learn faster and get the attention they need...
- better facilities - a purpose built dojo, complete with all the equipment needed so you can develop your skills the most effective way, rather than just walking up and down punching fresh air all day long...
- a large training floor with a full size competition arena - plenty of room for everybody and great for those students wanting to participate in karate tournament (in recent years we've sent students to Germany, Greece, and Russia to compete!)
- a safer training environment - an enclosed training area with padded floor and mirrors (not a concrete floor in a gym where safety can be an issue)
- more flexible class times - classes available 6 days per week
- an air conditioned dojo - critical for Southern Californian Summer!
- a reception lounge for parents to watch their kids in class
At our school you'll:
- Learn Traditional Japanese Karate - techniques and concepts from the home of Karate. This includes striking, locking, and throwing techniques. We also supplement our training with ground fighting often seen in MMA.
- Learn How To Protect Yourself Effectively - not just some theory on the subject, but proven and tested real life techniques designed to keep you safe...
- Become Self Confident - so you'll be able to stand up for yourself at school, or become more assertive in your job and day to day life...
- Become Mentally & Physically Fitter and Stronger - so you start feeling good everyday and develop a strong and healthy body. In fact we've had students lose over 60 lbs training in our system!
- plus much, much more...
They're just some of the reasons my school has grown from nothing to 130 students since 2003! Here's what some students and parents say...
“My son Nick has been with the club since the beginning. If ever there was a student that required patience and discipline it is Nick!
We so appreciate all the kindness and extra effort Sensei has given our son. It really has helped his self esteem.
There were many times I thought his patience would end – but Sensei stuck with us and we’re sticking with him!
My daughter now attends the Young Samurai classes too (and I’ve been seen at a few boxing classes..)! Jason is an awesome Sensei – he’s practically part of the family. Thank you.”

“Sensei has all the qualities of a great teacher – patience, enthusiasm, and high expectations. Our son has learned to listen closely and to practice leadership skills. Sensei makes sure the students have fun while they learn.”

”Tristan and Dakota have been with Sensei since last summer. They had tried other classes without success.
They eased into class the same day after only a few minutes of being spectators. They have brought many friends, too.
They think “Sensei” is the “Man” and class is the “Bomb”. They sleep a little better after class, too! Thanks. =)”

And I'd love you to come on down and try a class and experience it for yourself. I've got so much to teach and share with you, but I can't do it from this page. Give me a call on (951) 775 9401 to schedule your trial class.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Jason Stanley

P.S. I have beginner classes starting right now for people just like you... so there's no need to feel awkward or intimidated. We're a friendly club that teaches real karate, and would love to have you or your kids join us.
