About
Introducing it to mainland Japan in the early 20th century. Funakoshi's principles of respect, discipline, and humility are central to the teachings at Harbour City Shotokan Karate. Our instructors are experienced and dedicated to helping students reach their full potential in a safe and supportive environment.
The Harbour City Shotokan Karate club offers classes for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced students. Our classes are structured to provide a balance of physical conditioning, technical instruction, and practical application of techniques. Students will learn traditional forms (kata) and sparring (kumite) to develop their skills and confidence in self-defence situations.
At Harbour City Shotokan Karate, we believe in the importance of mental focus and emotional control in addition to physical strength. Our training instills discipline, respect for others, and a sense of responsibility in our students. The practice of karate can lead to increased self-esteem, improved concentration, and a sense of accomplishment as students progress through their belt ranks.
Whether you are looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defence techniques, or simply challenge yourself in a new and exciting way, Harbour City Shotokan Karate welcomes you to join our community. Our classes are designed to be engaging, challenging, and rewarding for students of all ages and abilities. We invite you to come and experience the art of Shotokan Karate with us.
