Karate flyer 1We teach Shotokan Karate Jitsu. The Karate style emphasizes the practical application of techniques in self-defense scenarios. The term "Jitsu" (also spelled "Jutsu") refers to "art" or "technique" in Japanese, and in the context of Karate Jitsu, it focuses on the combat-oriented aspects of karate rather than the sport or purely fitness aspects. KJitsu often includes a broader range of techniques than what might be found in sport, incorporating joint locks, throws, grappling, and pressure point strikes. It aims to provide a more comprehensive self-defense system. The practice of KJitsu often involves a deep understanding of kata (forms), bunkai (application of kata), and real-world self-defense scenarios. It is typically seen as a more traditional and holistic approach to martial arts, focusing on effectiveness in real-life situations rather than competition.
