Camarillo Shotokan Karate Do Center offers authentic Japanese Karate (empty-hand) training at its finest to anyone from the age of three and up. The dojo (training hall) is structured in a traditional setting and students practice the classical JKA (Japan Karate Assoc.) style of Shotokan. In addition to the obvious physical techniques, we also teach proper etiquette, philosophy and Asian customs.

Our dojo is recognized and accredited by the World Federation of Karate Do Organizations, a worldwide organization which acknowledges and accredits traditional karate schools.

In addition to our weekly classes, we have had some great guest instructors who have trained with us. A few of these excellent teachers include: Sensei Stan Schmidt (8th Dan, JKA So. Africa), Sensei Harry Cook (author & historian from U.K.), Sensei Mike Stone (sparring champion who was undefeated in 92 consecutive matches), Sensei T. Namiki (7th Dan, Head Instructor JSKF), Sensei Wolfgang Dzonsko (Sonsbeck, Germany), Shihan Shalom Avitan (8th Dan, Israel), the late Shihan E. Hamile (8th Dan, founder of West Coast Shotokan), Sensei Nick Palise (6th Dan, JKA Michigan), Sensei Vern Vaden (ROKUDAN {6th Dan}., ITKF Kumite Champion), Sensei Penny Ringwood (ITKF International Women Kata Champion), Sensei Ruben Tinda-an (5th Dan, Chief Instructor in Philippines), Sensei Kensuke Seto (7th Dan, JKA) as well as others.

Training Karate can be an enjoyable experience for all. Please bring your uniform (do-gi) and come train with us.
