Who Are We?
We practice traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate-Do in Berkeley, California. We belong to the Japan Karate Association, the oldest formal school of karate, recognized by Japan's Ministry of Education. We're open to beginners and experienced students alike, ages 12 and older. We practice karate as a traditional martial art in the spirit of Japanese budo. Demanding, vigorous, but non-contact, karate-do is a path for life. Click Train with Us for details.
