About T.A.B.I. Karate

T.A.B.I. Philosophy

T.A.B.I. Karate is a traditional martial arts school built on timeless values and a forward thinking spirit. Rooted in Shotokan Karate, our training emphasizes both physical discipline and personal development for students of all ages and backgrounds.

Our core philosophy is further expressed in the T.A.B.I. acronym:


Tradition - Preserve the past.  Adaptation - Grow through change.  Balance - Harmony in all things.  Intention - Move with purpose

Proud Member of the HDKI Community

Hombu Dojo Karate International

Meet the Instructors:

David Buell Founder & Head Instructor, T.A.B.I. Karate

With two decades of experience in traditional Shotokan Karate and a passion for helping others grow, T.A.B.I. Karate was founded with the mission to make martial arts accessible, personal, and purpose-driven. A background in military service, teaching, and lifelong training brings structure, humility, and integrity to every class. He leads with a heart for veterans, homeschoolers, and private schools--ensuring everyone has a place to train, grow, and thrive.

Steve Kocher (Honorary Instructor) Founder & Head Instructor, Alden Shotokan

Sensei Steve has been a mentor and guiding presence in Western New York's martial arts community for decades. As founder of Alden Shotokan Karate Club, his commitment to excellence, tradition, and community has inspired countless students. As an honorary instructor with T.A.B.I. Karate, Steve continues to share his martial knowledge, wisdom, and support, helping to strenghten the foundation and future of the dojo.

T.A.B.I. Karate's Mission

Homeschoolers, Private Schools, and Veterans

While all are welcome to train, T.A.B.I. Karate was founded with a clear mission: to make traditional martial arts accessible, meaningful, and mission-ready especially for veterans, homeschoolers, and private school students.


By staying mobile and not tied to a single location, we offer flexible, high-quality instruction in convenient community spaces. We meet our students where they are--both literally and figuratively--helping them grow through Tradition, Adaptation, Balance, and Intention.
