OUR KARATE STYLE

As part of the Japan Karate Association, Auckland we teach traditional Shotokan Karate to students of all ages using the JKA syllabus as well as more traditional teachings that focus on the practical application of Karate.

​

In alignment with Karate-do (the way), we place an emphasis on Karate as self-defence alongside aspects of personal development such as self-confidence and mental and physical well being.

This creates an excellent environment for young and old to improve their health and their lives in a safe and enjoyable environment through the art of Shotokan Karate Auckland.
