Competing in karate not only builds physical strength and skill but also promotes discipline, sportsmanship, and personal growth.

Parents Shotokan Karate Budokai understands the importance of parental involvement and support. We encourage parents to be actively involved in their child's karate journey. We provide a designated waiting area for parents to observe classes and offer regular parent-student training sessions. Furthermore, we believe that karate can be a family activity that promotes bonding, fitness, and self-confidence for both children and adults.

Training DVD's For those who are unable to attend regular classes or wish to supplement their training, we offer a range of training DVDs. These instructional DVDs cover various aspects of Shotokan Karate and provide detailed demonstrations and explanations of techniques. They are an excellent resource for furthering your knowledge and skill development.
