Shotokan karate is a traditional Japanese style of the art founded by Master Gichin Funakoshi. The Sioux Falls Shotokan Karate Club is a non-profit organization that adheres to the same high standards and principles set forth by Master Funakoshi. Shotokan Karate is a martial art which encompasses discipline, self-defense and overall personal growth. The emphasis is on individual growth rather than on comparison with others or competition. Emotional and spiritual health, as well as physical development are the facets of strong character and self-confidence. Through rigorous training and interaction with fellow students (karate-Ka), these goals can be realized. We are a no-nonsense Club with very structured and disciplined training sessions. Training sessions are structured to develop strong basic techniques first through Kihon (basics) and Kata (forms). After much training, students’ progress to sparring (Kumite) to test the techniques. Kihon, Kata and Kumite - Strong basics first; tournament later. Besides regular training sessions, the Sioux Falls Shotokan Karate Club hosts Seminars and Examinations three times per year. An annual Summer Camp is held during the month of June.
