About Us

Our Karate-do

Shogen-Ryu Karate-Do is the creation of Taba Kensei, 10th dan and is the product of his years of training in Karate-Do under Masters such as Shoshin Nagamine, Hohan Soken and Chosin Chibana.  


Shogen-Ryu Karate uses of natural movements and the combination of the hips and low back when performing techniques to produce the greatest speed and power.

Dr. Gutierrez, the main instructor at the Three Coral Dojo was one of Taba Sensei's last students.

Building confidence and leadership skills

Students are obviously going to learn self-defense but we strive to have our students achieve confidence.  Confidence is developed by tests when the student is ready not when the student wants and rank is earned not awarded. 


Leadership is taught by having students take an active role in training other students.  This means that a student is able to experience leading another in a controlled environment.

Cost of training

Any charges or payments should be placed in a small envelope.
