Worthy of its stellar 5 star reputation, Shotokan Karate of America stands proudly thanks to its focus on tradition. Following the orthodoxy of their founder Tsutomu Ohshima Sensei, a direct disciple of Master Gichin Funakoshi, and now under Shihan John Teramoto, Shotokan Karate of America prioritizes the true essential teachings of karate-do as taught by Master Funakoshi; not introducing innovations but preserving his tradition. Continuing that historic legacy are some of their current incredible instructors: Erik, Gary, and Brian at the San Diego Peninsula Dojo.Shotokan Karate of America - San Diego Peninsula Dojo prioritizes the values at the heart of martial arts...read full review

Great group and teachers who are knowledgeable. This is a Shotokan organization that delves deeper into what the style was intended to be in actual self-defense circumstances; it is not a sport-based, trophy-seeking school.

From San Diego Peninsula Shotokan Karate

San Diego Peninsula Shotokan Karate is member dojo of Shotokan Karate of America (SKA). SKA was founded by Tsutomu Ohshima, one of the last remaining students of Master Gichin Funakoshi, the father of modern karate. We are proud of our direct lineage from the founding of karate, as well as SKA’s unique status as the organizer of the oldest, continuously-run karate tournament in America. Because of SKA’s dedication to offer high-quality martial arts to the public, we have remained non-commercial and non-profit. We practice in Liberty Station in Point Loma and in Pioneer Park in Mission Hills. If you are looking for an authentic, challenging martial art, with deep cultural roots and passionate, dedicated practitioners, come train with us!
