Defend Shotokan Karate Budokai puts a strong emphasis on self-defence training. We believe that everyone should have the skills and confidence to protect themselves if necessary. Our instructors teach practical self-defence techniques that can be applied in real-life situations. We focus on developing awareness, physical fitness, and mental strength to effectively defend oneself.
Compete For those interested in competitive karate, we offer opportunities to compete at local, national, and international levels. Our experienced coaches provide training and guidance to prepare students for competitions. We have a proven track record of success in both kata (forms) and kumite (sparring) events. 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.
Shiatsu Shotokan Karate Budokai also offers Shiatsu massage therapy for members.
