Starting


If you would like to start training, or if you need more information about Karatedo Doshinkan, please feel free to contact a dojo near you. We would be glad to answer your questions and to invite you to observe the training if you like. The teachers and other members will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and will help you get started smoothly.

Don’t worry about “keeping up with the group”. You do not need to be in great physical shape to start Karatedo. Training starts very slowly and gently, with an emphasis on safety and injury prevention, and gradually builds in intensity. You will learn a great deal about how your body works and how to make it healthy and fit! On the other hand, if you are looking for an activity that will challenge you, traditional Karatedo will not disappoint you!

We look forward to sharing traditional Karatedo with you!
