Absolutely amazing dojo to train at. The head instructor of extremely knowledgeable and understanding. I am a shotokan karate practitioner but was out of training for a long time due to health issues. Sense NataliyaPidkovka was understanding and helped make acceptable accommodations to my physical limitations. I would highly recommend training here.

I have joined the club since last winter under the guidance of Pidkovka Sensei, and I enjoy my entire training experience very much.
The regular training follows the traditional lineage of Shotokan, involving insightful understandings about the physical mechanisms and martial-art spirits. Nataliya is a very knowledgeable and experienced Karate-ka with a warm heart. Her teaching style emphasizes hardworking yet intellectual practice, and the vibe of the dojo is very friendly and welcoming. In addition, the dojo organizes and participates various training seminars at a regular basis, offering great

Highly recommended!
After moving to the Nashville area, I decided to start martial arts training again (yes, at 54 years old!). After visiting several area schools/dojos, I chose the Nashville Shotokan Karate club. I feel that it is important to get a good vibe and connection from the school. My initial thoughts were that, after sitting in on a couple classes, I liked the atmosphere of class and Nataliya Pidkovka sensei’s teaching style.
Now that I have been attending classes for a couple of months, that initial impression has not changed. I very much like Nataliya Pidkovka sensei’s approach

Sensei Nataliya is a fantastic instructor. She has received honors from some of the most respected and well-known teachers in martial arts and it shows. Sensei Nataliya is dedicated to providing a comprehensive education in both the physical and mental aspects of karate. Every class, Sensei Nataliya is prepared with a variety of training techniques that emphasize intelligent and healthy body movements and practical application of technique. Training at this dojo has quickly become the activity I look forward to the most each week! Having a Sensei as communicative and passionate as Sensei Nataliya

Sensei Pidkovka is an excellent instructor, who learned her art from some of the best and well-respected Japanese karate experts.
She teaches traditional karate, with an emphasis on it being a life-long practise, to attain and maintain health and fitness, along with the self-defense aspects of karate-do.
The mental aspects, body mechanics, and understanding that we are all somewhat different, lends an intellectual perspective and achieves attainable goals and continued progression in this ancient Japanese system.
