Value

The true value of karate lasts for many years if practiced for many years.   The muscle memory and physical benefits really bring so much value into this activity.


Unlike other sports like soccer, football, tennis etc they are beneficial but they are no match to what karate gives in the long term.  Those that practice karate are actually better at other sports due to karate.  Karate is a never ending activity verses other sports have their seasons that end.

The Mission of TVSKarate

Tiny Tigers Karate, Meridian Idaho, Kuna Idaho, Eagle Idaho, Star Idaho, Boise Idaho, Karate near me, Karate for kids

At the TVSK dojo our emphasis is focused on each student’s individual growth in martial arts.  All ages from Youth to Adult 99+ has a specific need that we try to address when they come in through the doors. 


Jim & Vanesa Sensei's vision has always been to create a place like the dojo where they grew up in.  Jim grew up in Hanshi Morris Mack's dojo, Yakima School of Karate and Vanesa grew up in Sensei Sue Young's school in Ellensburg Washington, Central Washington School of Karate, which is an affiliate school of Yakima School of Karate.  Vanesa would travel to Yakima with her instructor to train, and that is where both grew to know the "FAMILY" atmosphere that both schools provided.  The dojo families though 45 min apart provided a positive influence during Vanesa's high school years and Jim's college years.   It has more than paid off to be such an important part of their lives.  


Little did they know that karate would be a huge part of their lives for the long term.  Jim & Vanesa both love helping others and passing on their knowledge of karate that they learned.  


Vanesa has a huge heart and love for all ages and has extensive knowledge in teaching karate and working with various learning styles.  She has a natural talent and knowledge of how to work with children and growth of each child’s different developmental stages. 


Jim is one of the kindest people you will meet.  He has a huge heart and has extensive knowledge on the history and lineage of our style.  His heart is in passing on the teachings of Morris Mack karate to others that want the same things that he has gotten as he grew up in Yakima School of Karate.


As students come and go and each student has various life changes, it never is easy to see someone leave the school because of personal life changes. But the goal of instructors at TVSK is to provide as much information to each student in hopes that it will give them the essentials to go through life with great character, respect, and honor.


Both Jim & Vanesa strive to be the best influence to all that come through the door.  


This video from KTVB shows in a little clip, how much their vision has succeeded for so many years in the Treasure Valley.
