Welcome to our organization and to this dojo. Shotokan is an Okinawan based style of karate. It is one of the five principal styles namely Shotokan, Shitoryu, Gojuryu, Shukukai and Kyokushinkai. It was founded in 1922 by Gichin Funakoshi.

In essence, karate was developed by people who literally had to fight for their lives. For this reason techniques had to be very effective, extremely fast and very versatile

To be capable of inflicting devastating damage on an opponent with one blow of the fist or a single kick has been the objective of this ancient Okinawan martial art.

Today we benefit from the many qualities karate provides such as well balanced fitness and conditioning, physically as well as mentally. It teaches discipline, confidence and to know ones own character and physical limits.
