High priced, low quality, fast paced belt factories. Unqualified instructions from a wannabe grand master black belt. Unlike such schools, Tokon doesn't promise you fast advancement and ranking just to lure you in to sign up.

What makes Karate training such a good workout?: Human movement occurs in 3 planes of motion: Forward & backward, Up & down (Sagittal Plane), Side to side (Frontal Plane), Rotating (Transverse Plane). Shotokan karate techniques integrate and develop each of these 3 planes of movement.
Our Karate Training at Tokon Martial Arts Sacramento does not only mimic these moves but adds additional challenges and demands on muscles, skeleton and the nervous system with special stances and moves, but also the feeling for balance, timing and distance.Through repeating and refining these techniques, karate students become more aware of human movements, and how they can increase the speed and power of their movements.

Our Karate programs for children aim at encouraging them to maintain healthy habits, improved focus, discipline, confidence, right body posture, and physical and mental strength. We have created a complete set of programs for children to accomplish these goals. We also offer various fun and challenging activities for children, so that the enthusiasm to learn is not diminished.
As a parent, you are already aware of the tremendous potential of your child. But you may be worried about whether they would be able to make the most of their natural gifts. Maybe your child's focus or attention span is limited; maybe he or she is shy or plagued by self-doubt; or maybe the child needs someone's help to reinforce life-skills.
Most responsible parents by now are aware that many children are experiencing epidemic levels of obesity - a problem in large part associated with physical inactivity and total urbanization of today's youth. Muscles are like engines that "run" our body. Like with any engine it is essential to maintain the engine to steer an active and healthy lifestyle.

I started training in Shotokan when I was 7 and after achieving Shodan and competing nationally through high school, I hung up my gi and belt in college because of other life priorities. Fast forward over 25 years and I found Tokon Martial Arts in Natomas. Tokon is a traditional, JKA based Shotokan martial arts dojo that emphasizes technique and basic fundamentals like "higite" and spirit. I joined about 6 months ago with the same enthusiasm and excitement I had when I was a 7 year old. Our entire family has started as well.
So Covid provided challenges for many. For the Owners, Sensei Marcus

I have been doing karate at Tokon Martial Arts for nearly 8 years now and I absolutely love this dojo. Our tight-knit community has given me the opportunity create many friendships and has shaped me into the person I am today. Practicing karate at Tokon over the years has taught me self-discipline, confidence, and teamwork. I am so grateful for all the skills Sensei Christina and Sensei Marcus have helped me develop through karate. This dojo is like my second home and is fit for anyone to join.

Enrolling into Tokon Martial Arts is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Not only do you learn self-defense and get a full body workout; you learn so much more. The lessons I learn on commitment, perseverance, hard work, success, self-confidence, andb goal setting are all things that have been a major factor in making me the person I am today. The things I learn from Tokon Martial Arts will stay with me for life. Tokon Martial Arts isn't just a place to learn how to kick and punch. This place teaches you take and keep control of your life.

We feel so lucky to be with Tokon Martial Arts during this pandemic. Sensei Marcus and Sensei Christina were very quick to get live online classes up and running. Not only are the classes abundant, productive and engaging, but they've also incorporated access to additional world-class training. Of course, we miss seeing everyone at the dojo and nothing can replace the energy of the in-dojo classes... but our daughters (12yo, black belts) are keeping their skills polished and are progressing in many areas. Tokon has also started social-distance outdoor classes, which we plan on attending in the

My son was 6 when he started with Tokon. We were nervous as we had tried another (a chain) place prior, but it felt like a factory and it was so impersonal. But we knew karate would be a good fit to help our son focus.
Tokon feels like a family from the first day! It’s far from a factory. Our son has excelled in the last 6 months with Tokon, and he actually enjoys going. We have tried other sports, but he was never fully interested. He wants to go all the way to black belt now! I credit the atmosphere that has been created at Tokon. We are so happy to have found them!

My daughter has been going to Tokon Martial Arts since Oct. 2017 and absolutely loves it! It’s the only class that she gets excited about going. Both Sensei Marcus and Christina are passionate about what they do. Sensei Marcus is my daughter’s instructor and he is very nice, professional, strict (good for the children) and open to communication. Whenever there is a concern, you can easily talk to him and he will address your concerns right away. The Sensei’s truly care about their students and want them to get the best out of their classes. My daughter is now more confident and truly enjoys

My boys are students at Tokon Martial Arts and have been for the past two years. The dojo’s dedication in instilling values and teaching commitment by example is admirable. If you’re looking for a good place for your kids to learn karate, and in the process become better, more focused, bring them here!
