Welcome to Traditional Karate & Aikido


	Home / About Us

It is the true belief of Sensei Smith that all lessons and teaching should be in the dojo and not on the website. So, thank you for visiting our website, but now make the decision and get to a dojo and train.

Respectfully,
Sensei S. Smith, (Kancho)

Our school (Dojo) has been in Las Vegas for over 15 years. We are an Old school in a Modern Time.

If you would like to train with us, please bring a humble attitude and a willingness to learn.

However, you must understand each Sensei and Dojo is a little different. Try to accept the training and keep strong Spirit and a good attitude.

It takes time and practice to understand what is martial art. Remember, you move the art itself.

The School of Traditional Karate-Do and Aikido believe in the principles set forth by O’Sensei Ueshiba and Sensei Funakoshi, two great teachers that paved the way for us to follow.

HISTORY

Traditional Karate-Do & Aikido opened in 1994 in Las Vegas, NV. It is a traditional school based on Respect, Strong Spirit and Understanding. However, the discipline of training must be in the student to train hard, keep a strong spirit and respectful attitude. The key to training is Disciplined Power and Strong Spirit.

Sensei Stan Smith (Kancho) is the Chief Instructor and owner. He began his training in 1980. He enjoys training everyday and continues to polish his skill and cultivate his spirit.

Sensei D. Miranda (Soke) also teaches at the dojo. He brings a great deal of wisdom to the lessons and is The Aikido Spirit of the school.

Sensei Smith and Sensei Miranda have trained together for many years in Las Vegas and together have produced a solid martial arts school. That will help guide you in your Martial Arts Journey.

Our Dojo is a place that demands RESPECT, HUMILITY and SINCERETY, qualities essential for the safety and progress of our students. A sincere commitment to practice is essential.
