Then it moved to 2315 Clement Street in San Francisco Ca. and was officially called School of Oyama which is now a hamburger place. By Donald I. Buck. After a few years Don Buck changed the name to Buck's School of the Tiger and have been serving the community and the Military ever since. Fred Buck, his son is now carrying on the teachings of his father Hanshi Don Buck, Sosai Mas Oyama and Raymond (Duke) Moore.
We specialize in Kyokushin Karate and Aiki-Jujitsu. We offer quality and reliable martial arts instruction that you can count on. In addition, we are here to answer any questions you may have about our styles and our services.
We do not consider Buck's School of the Tiger just a Dojo (School). 'In Japanese there's a word called Kazoku, which means family. We consider it a Family Where everyone helps each other in and out of the Dojo! OSU!'
