Taku-Sensei has shaped my adolescent son from being timid and recluse to being proactive in school and at various social functions I drag him to. Kyokushin seems like a brutal martial art (certainly the tournaments are scary), but Sensei Taku has taken my son gradually up in strength, and I feel my son is safe under the Sensei's guidance.
Pros: Downtown location, strong but gentle Sensei
