Testimony from:
I am a stunt performer and stunt driver who has taken almost every performance driving school in North America, from stunt driving to road racing to rally driving and finally drifting.
When I first tried drifting, I loved it immediately, and eagerly entered into an arrangement for coaching and arrive and drive competition with the most prominent “drift school” I could find on google. After a year of wasted time, and an embarrassing amount of money spent trying to advance and running into the same roadblocks - 'coaches' who could not explain to me how or why a technique was supposed to work, and being provided with cars that were not set up to perform at the level I was supposed to be driving at, I finally came to Taka and Yoshie at Drift School USA.
From the get go I realized their approach is special - from instructional videos shot at all angles inside and outside the car, filming and video review of each on-track session in their climate controlled trailer, specifically isolating maneuvers and showing me exactly where I need to modify my techniques. Drift school USA’s approach is designed to teach real skills, not just take your money and let you roast tires.
I was incredibly frustrated when I realized that I’d learned more from Taka in an afternoon than I had in a over 30 days of dedicated 'instruction' and track time from the other school. More than anything else, his detailed analysis and explanations meant I understood exactly what changes to make to achieve a certain result and *why* they worked.
I would not hesitate to recommend Drift School USA to any driver looking to step up their game through one on one coaching and real technical analysis.
If you want to feel good and have fun with some cheap seat time, by all means, save money by going for the cheaper up front price tag of another school, you won’t even realize how much you’re missing at first. But do yourself a favour and ask for the credentials of the your instructors. When I started digging there’s a reason the other schools don’t name their instructors or publish their resumes. The decades of competitive driving and instructional experience put this school truly in its own league.
Happy Drifting!
