Course Details

Shotokan Karate is a form of unarmed combat - However the "karate-ka" also uses their feet, knees and  elbows. Karate as a martial art was cultivated in the island of  Okinawa, south of mainland Japan. 

After many years, the development of Karate as a means of self  defence gained tremendous popularity, as the Japanese government on the island had prohibited the use of weapons. 

Because of this national policy, the self defence techniques  were developed into a unique Okinawan martial art of Karate. In 1922, Master Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan  Karate, introduced Karate to mainland Japan during the first National  Athletic Exhibition held in Tokyo.

The demonstration turned out to be a great success due to the  inspiring personality of Master Funakoshi. He taught only one method, a total discipline, which  represented a mixture of Okinawan styles. This method became known as Shotokan, which literally means Pine waves Hall.
