we are shotokan karate academy
Our vision is to provide a safe, yet challenging environment where kids and adults can learn the art of Karate. SKA is more than a self - defense program, it is a way of life. It's ultimate goal lies in seeking perfection of one's character in and outside the Academy. Our focus is to spread Traditional Karate to those wanting to learn and encourage hard work and dedication. No matter the size or gender of the student; consistent training fosters mental toughness, emotional strength and continual development that will help all aspects of your life.
Typical classes at our dojo consist of the 3 main elements of training:
-
Kihon (basic techniques - blocks, punches, kicks, and footwork. This is the foundation of karate)
-
Kata ("Forms"- A prearranged series of kihon replicating a fight or movements within combat)
-
Kumite (sparring - both free sparring and sparring using techniques learned from kihon and kata)
​
-
Exercises and stretches for strength, endurance and to prevent injuries during training.
-
Self-defense drills and techniques often called Bunkai which are practical applications of what each technique is used for and the variety of ways to implement them.
