We practice a style of Karate called Shotokan Karate, a very traditional style of karate which take its name from the pen name of Master Gichin Funakoshi. The emphasis is on Karate-Do or 'way' and goes well beyond self-defence or fighting techniques. The training is very physical, an excellent workout, but sparring is non-contact. We have a lot training material including a book written by Master Funakoshi called Karate-Do Kyohan that illustrates the kata and techniques.
