Golden Tiger Shotokan Studio

Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.

Shotokan Karate-Do

 

Karate-do is probably the most widely practiced martial art in the world. Other popular martial arts, such as Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Aikido,
are practiced in some countries and not in others. Karate, though, seems to be practiced every where. The reasons are many. As a method of
self-defense, karate is unparalleled. Its karate-do, the study of karate as a way of life. Everybody can benefit from this aspect of the art because
each of us can become at least a little bit better of a person, with better character and increased sensitivity. Virtually anyone who enjoys average heath, regardless of age or sex. Tae kwon do's high, spinning kicks, and judo's and aikido's hard jarring falls eliminate many older members of society from practicing them. Karate, thought, doesn't suffer any such limitations. You can practice karate fast or slow, hard or soft, intensely or gently. You can do it at your own pace, and you can practice effectively by yourself (provided, of course, that you are under the guidance of a qualified instructor).

 We invite you to follow us along the path of karate-do. We promise you an interesting, exciting, challenging, and safe journey. We are a non profit associated to Amateur Athletic Union group under the 501(c)(3).The Golden Tiger Club is a proud member of two of the oldest and most respectable organizations dedicated to the promotion of martial arts in the United States. Both organizations are non-profit groups. The USA National Karate-do Federation (www.usankf.org) which is the only karate organization that is sanctioned by the U.S. Olympic Committee. (USOC). The other organization is The Amateur Athletic Union of the USA (www.aausports.org). It was created in 1888 to establish standards
and uniformity in amateur sport.

  At G.T.S.S., we care about the quality of our students because they are the one that will carry on the tradition for many years to come. Our staff members are the most qualified in their respective fields: karate, aerobics, strength exercise etc. Our goal is to bring back the standard of martial arts to where the old master intended in the physical and spiritual senses and take it into the 21 century digital age.
