All of the instructors at Traditional Karate Center are very nice and caring. They teach with such enthusiasm and passion and treat everyone like family.

James Pennycuff

Sensei Ramon is the kind of instructor who stays 30 minutes after class on a Saturday to give personal attention and instruction to his newest students. He's a fantastic teacher, and I'm very glad a former student of his sent me down to Sugarland. I'll be studying under him for as long as he's teaching.

Francisco Montealegre

I have been looking for a traditional karate school near my area for over a year now with no luck. I was about to give up when recently I found and joined sensei Veras traditional karate center in sugar land. This dojo is exactly what I was looking for. Not only do they have excellent instruction by sensei Ramon Veras and his team but also the school is directly linked to Okinawa, Japan (something that is uncommon to find nowadays). I would highly recommend this dojo to anyone that wants to experience real traditional karate.

Jam Lopez

Traditional Karate Center is the only authentic Traditional karate in Sugar Land. I have done my research before coming here seven years ago. My daughter was 5 years old then now she is 12 years old. I have seen her blossom into a karateka with the guidance and mentorship of Sensei Ramon Veras, Sensei Nizar, Sensei Nathan, and Sensei Cassie. We consider this as our second home and all the Sensei our family. The quality of teaching was so exceptional that my entire family has joined the class. The quality of training you will have here is the same quality of training you will get if you go to Japan.

Oscar Jimenez

Member Feedback

"Sensei Ramon Veras heads the school, and he is a fantastic teacher. He encourages and advises, he will push you and ask for just a bit more. But he never belittles your efforts and always respects people's limits. If you're feeling nervous about starting something new, this is the place to go. Everyone is welcomed, we are all in it together, and we love what we do!"

Jeff Siggers

Member Feedback

"The Traditional Karate Center is a warm and welcoming pace to learn Karate and help you get or stay fit. Sensai Ramon is an excellent and caring instructor, he takes time to nurture each student and help them make progress in their training. When I started I weighed over 230 pounds. Karate has become a primary part of my weight loss and fitness training. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not always easy, but it is well worth the effort."
