Traditional Karate and Aikido

Traditional Karate and Aikido is a martial arts school at 8545 S Eastern Ave, Suite 107, in the 89123 zip code of southern Las Vegas. The name describes the offering accurately, the school teaches karate, aikido, and self defense, and it positions itself around traditional instruction with a character development focus. Karate and aikido make an interesting pairing for families comparing schools, karate builds striking fundamentals and kata discipline, while aikido centers on redirecting an opponent's energy through throws and joint control, so a student here can be exposed to two distinct martial traditions under one roof.

The school serves ages 5 through 18, in brackets of 5 to 12 and 13 to 18. The listed strengths are experienced instructors, a safe training environment, and the character development focus, which for most parents is the actual product, the discipline and confidence that come from belt progression, more than the fighting technique itself.

The schedule runs seven days a week year round, with hours that vary by day, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday, 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Sunday. The evening availability Tuesday through Thursday is where after school and after work class times would fall, and the weekend windows keep options open for kids with packed weekday schedules. Note that these are the facility's posted hours, and specific youth class times within them are not recorded in the listing, so ask for the class schedule by age group when you call.

Instruction is in English. The listing does not publish pricing, and there is no recorded information about trial classes, sibling discounts, scholarships, or special needs accommodations, all of which are standard questions to ask any dojo before committing, since many schools offer introductory deals they do not advertise.
