This site will present the history, philosophy and traditions of Shotokan Karate. It uses animations to help demonstrate many of karate techniques. Unlike most other martial arts sites, this site is not affiliated with any particular school.
Shotokan karate is one of the most popular martial arts practiced today.
It is more linear than circular and it can be very aggressive and devastating to an opponent. Shotokan is not suited to all people, just as other arts are not. There is no such thing as the perfect martial art. The art is not better, only the practioner. All rights reserved.
