Training with Tanaka Sensei
All students study the Seiichi Tanaka style, which incorporates traditional and contemporary rhythms, dance, and martial arts training. Taiko Dojo members go through many hours of physical and mental training before being allowed to perform. Seiichi Tanaka Sensei believes these are the basic elements of Taiko and cannot stand separately. They must come together as one unit.
