I am incredibly impressed with this organization. The club is an affiliate of the International Shotokan Karate Federation and teaches traditional Shotokan karate. It is a club, not a for profit school. This means the instructors are donating their time in order to share their knowledge and experience of the art they love and have spent a lifetime studying. In addition, it means quarterly dues are low ($165 every 3 months). The sensai is an internationally recognized karate practitioner. Senior students (some with decades of experience in martial arts) drive an hour and half or more for the instruction offered by Sensai. I joined the club about 8 months and couldn't be happier. It is truly a community. I have made wonderful new friends and we get together as a group for drinks and dinner at least once a week.

First rate instruction by a high ranking black belt (6th degree) and certified instructor in the ISKF, the largest karate organization in the world. He is not only an excellent practitioner--he has numerous medals to prove it--but he is a great instructor who gives personal guidance and feedback. And just as important, he creates an atmosphere of support where everyone supports everyone in their progress. This is the norm for ISKF dojos but SWWSKC feels like a family, going out to share a meal together on Monday nights. First rate instruction, high expectations without negativity, welcoming atmosphere. Who could ask for anything more? Oh yes, and the fees are extremely reasonable

Best place on the North side of the river for fun, exercise, and self defense!
