About the provider

U.S. Taido Association was founded in 1975. The school says it has been in metro Atlanta since 1975 and on Spalding Drive near Holcomb Bridge Road for more than 20 years. Its leadership team includes Founder and President Mits Uchida, Director and Head Instructor Mitsuaki Uchida, and Associate Head Instructor Brendan Dumont. The school says black belts have a minimum of 5 years of training before assisting with classes, and that its 'Team USA' has competed in more than 10 international tournament championships in Japan, Finland, and the U.S.

Classes are held with others of the same age, belt rank, and ability. Students are required to learn how to count, pronounce, and understand skills in Japanese. Taido can be practiced by anyone regardless of age, and the school says boys, girls, men, and women can practice without undue concern about previous physical fitness or conditioning.
