What Is Shotokan Karate?
Shotokan Karate was founded by Gichin Funakoshi, who brought Okinawan karate to mainland Japan in the early 20th century. Emphasizing strong basics, dynamic movement, and mental discipline, Shotokan became the foundation for many modern karate styles. It is a style respected around the world for its blend of tradition, effectiveness, and personal development.
