Meikyo offers a safe and professionally operated martial arts Shotokan karate-do dojo. Shotokan is a traditional Japanese style of karate. Sensei Smith provides highly individualized instruction, guiding students toward their personal goals and encouraging them to develop to their capacity.

 

Because everyone trains at their own pace, new students can join the dojo anytime. Beginners train alongside our intermediate and advanced students. Every karate-ka is expected to hone the fundamentals of our art before attempting more advanced techniques.

 

At Meikyo, our focus is on character and self-development. We encourage students to compete against themselves rather than others and to support fellow karate-ka in their development.  We emphasize martial art principles and philosophical aspects to balance the mind, body and spirit linked with the Karate-do Kihon,(Fundamentals) Kata, (Forms) Kumite  (Sparring) techniques and practice.

​

Karate-do is a lifelong journey. Meikyo Shotokan Karate-Do is inclusive. The earnest practice of real karate-do can benefit everyone in society, and we welcome those who represent diversity in its many dimensions. Why not start your journey today for yourself and invite a neighbor, friend or loved one to join with you?
