American Shotokan Karate of California

FAQ'S

            How do I sign up for your class?

    It all depends on where you want to practice. If you go to the schedule page you will be able to see where I teach and on what days. There is a waiver and information form that needs to be completed at the time of registration. Your first months payment will also be required at that time. Payments at the JCI and Torrance are made payable to James Yabe.

    What is the style of karate that you teach?

    I teach JKA Shotokan karate.

    Where can I find more information on the style of karate that you teach?

    There are various books written on Shotokan Karate. There is a book written by Nakayama Sensei, Nishiyama Sensei, and Kanazawa Sensei. They all go over the basics for stance, punching, kicking, blocking, kata, and kumite. These are just a few of the teachers that I have had the privilege to study under.
