Karate and Martial Arts in San Diego

Hi my name is Tom Yahner and I have started a new blog entitled Karate and Martial Arts in San Diego.  The purpose is to share my experiences as a martial arts teacher and practitioner.  I have been training in the arts for over twenty-three years since I was six years old and currently serve as Head Instructor at the United States Karate Academy (USKA) in San Diego, California.

I have trained in many arts including Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kung Fu, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, Savate, Ninjitsu, Aikido, Judo, Boxing, and Kickboxing.  My main art is a Korean Art called Tang Soo Do in which I am a Third Degree Black Belt.

In 2007, I was hired at USKA an began teaching almost 30 classes a week, a majority of which were large group classes.  The youngest group I taught were the 1 to 3 year olds, who were called Diaper Dragons.  Next came the Tiny Tigers who are between the ages of 3 to 6, then the Youth Class which consisted of 7 to 12 year olds, and finally Adults of all ranks aged 13 and above.  I have recently scaled back my teaching and now teach the Black Belt and Instructor class on Monday nights.

Thank you for visiting, I will be sharing my knowledge here on a regular basis.  Please check out our website at www.uskasandiego.com.  Also, check out To The Point Gaslamp Acupuncture at www.tothepointga.com and The Emerging Artist Workshop at www.jamespatino.com.
