About

What Students Can Expect

Buck's School of the Tiger teaches students ages 12 and older at the Peoria dojo. Certified black belts guide students through structured, personal training.

The curriculum blends Kyokushin Karate and Aiki-Jujitsu with perseverance, focus, and self-discipline. Students build practical self-defense skills, confidence, and control.

Training is direct and structured. Classes are small and personal: private and semi-private instruction, not a crowded group class. Beginners and experienced students train together in an environment that demands effort and rewards honesty.

The dojo is built around family: students helping each other inside and outside of training.

What Students Train

• Kyokushin Karate — basics, kata, kumite, and conditioning
• Aiki-Jujitsu — locks, throws, and close-range control
• Striking, grappling, and practical self-defense
• Tournament preparation, when offered
• Seminars and personal development
