Kai Shotokan Karate

Kai Shotokan Karate is a Japanese martial art focused on developing defensive and counterattacking movements for self-defense. It encompasses three main disciplines: kihon, where fundamental techniques are learned; kata, which involves sequences of techniques; and kumite, where techniques are applied against opponents. The dojo emphasizes both physical and mental aspects, aiming to enhance individual character through discipline and respect. The name 'Kai Shotokan' reflects the Japanese concept of 'ikigai,' meaning 'a reason for being,' highlighting the spiritual importance of karate practice. The club promotes inclusivity, offering classes for children and adults of all abilities in a family-friendly environment.
