We are a karate school (dojo), dedicated to the study of Traditional Japanese Karate Association (JKA) Shotokan Karate. The chief instructor, Sensei Sonny Kim, has trained in Shotokan Karate since 1977. Sensei Kim is enthusiastic about passing on the art of Traditional Shotokan Karate-do to anyone who is willing to dedicate themselves to train and study.

The Japanese Karate-Do takes pride in providing a family friendly atmosphere, offering classes for adults, teens and children. “Everyone helps and supports each other and new students are always made to feel welcome.”

We welcome anyone who wants to learn Karate, from beginners to those who wish to improve and develop their current skills to a much higher level. If you want become physically fit and gain an overall sense of physical, mental and emotional well being, you owe it to yourself to look into Japanese Karate-Do.
