Welcome to our Dojo!
 
Thank you for visiting our club’s site. Shotokan Karate of Anderson is located on the east side of Cincinnati, Ohio in Anderson Township. Our club was established in 2002 by Kim & Jeff Weber along with a few fellow students.
 
We study and practice in Shotokan Karate. Shotokan Karate is a traditional style of Japanese martial arts. It is recognized by its diligence of practicing the fundamentals, and for performing powerful, explosive techniques while exhibiting extreme control and focus. 
 
The Japanese calligraphy to the right says “Shotokan Karate Anderson” and was graciously done for us by Sensei Teruyuki Okazaki, chairman of the International Shotokan Karate Federation on his 2002 visit to central Ohio. We are very appreciative to have this original work.
 
A person’s interest in the martial arts is a personal one.  For some it is a parent wanting their children to gain the benefits of the martial arts – confidence, focus, respect, and discipline; for others it is an adult who sees the value in martial arts lessons for themselves, to combat stress, learn self-defense, and increase personal development. With consistent training, Shotokan Karate can provide many of the above benefits to the karateka, and more.
 
Our club is dedicated to teaching traditional Shotokan Karate in a positive environment. We offer a friendly atmosphere, and encourage participation from all family members.
 
Anyone interested in joining our classes, are welcome to observe a class.
