DOJO
Discover Karatedo Doshinkan, a traditional non-competitive, non-commercial Okinawan martial art. Our consistent training improves overall mental and physical health, including: mindfulness, flexibility, strength, balance, and energy. We do this through an in-depth study of movement, self-defense, and character.
Class Components
Every class is unique, but there are several components typically woven together to support each practitioner with their path to better health, self-defense skill, and strengthening of character.
Upon leaving the dojo, we will feel healthier and more energized than when we arrived. We also leave motivated to practice some improvement in our training, attitude and movement. Our training is not competitive, has NO sparring or tournaments, and is accessible to people of all ages and levels of skill. Each member takes their own journey at their own pace. People bring different mental and physical talents and dispositions to training. As such, they will experience a different set of challenges as they pursue growth.

Self-Defense

Character
Opportunities to challenge ourselves mentally and physically, interact helpfully with others in a community, and seek continual improvement from a place of humility.
