Traditional Shotokan Karate

Shotokan Karate SealA full white to black belt course covering the traditional art of Shotokan Karate, with slight Korean influence due to the unique lineage that this style has passed through. As a Shotokan student, you will learn stances, hand strikes, foot strikes, blocking, katas, and kumite. Sensei Jon Hodge will be your grading instructor, giving your feedback and guiding critiques through your rank exams. This is a self-paced program, which means there are no “forced waits” in between belt tests. Of course, proper training, time, and exertion is necessary to fully prepare yourself for the next rank.
