Would you like to study one of the finest martial arts systems ever developed?

Butokukan Karate, since its inception in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1950s, has evolved from a traditional Japanese “hard” style to a martial art that has many flowing but powerful techniques. Our instructors focus on character development and life skills for our students. They also promote self-confidence and well being by teaching a solid style that is practical and effective for real life self-defense and competition sparring and forms.

Affiliated schools (dojos) are located on the West Coast including Washington, California, and British Columbia, Canada.
