For centuries, karate was an art form handed down from parent to child and from teacher to students. Our karate dojo has continued that tradition for 20 years in Happy Valley. We train in Shorin-Ryu karate, an authentic Okinawan style handed down over generations. Chances are you're interested in karate for many reasons - physical fitness, self-improvement, self-defense, or as a way to unwind after work. Choosing a karate school (dojo) is a very important step. You need to be sure you find the place that is right for you. You want a dojo where the atmosphere is friendly and the training is serious. Where there's a sense of mutual respect. Where each student is able to progress at his or her own rate, depending on ability and level of commitment.
