Shotokan Karate-Do thought in a traditional way. As a Japanese martial art the traditions are as important as the actual physical training. Sensei T. J Stiles is a great instructor with lots of experience and always a positive attitude towards sharing his knowledge with his students. What can you expect from the classes: A full body and mind workout, a great energy among the class and learning not only a way to defend your self but actually to live your life«the empty hand’s» way.

If you are looking for a Shotokan Karate dojo in the Bay Area, you will be well served to train at the JKA of San Francisco. T. J Stiles is a truly excellent instructor — a fifth degree black belt, with over 20 years of teaching experience, he comes directly from the Mori Sensei lineage of JKA and practices the traditional Japanese Karate Do. He is very technical and explains technique, body movement and application extremely well and really helps you identify and overcome your weaknesses and bad habits. I have tried other dojos in SF, but this has been the best by far in terms of serious practice, proper technique and true karate spirit! I highly recommend.
