Way
Of Life Shotokan Karate-Do is dedicated to teaching traditional Shotokan Karate
in a modern world. We practice a do, which means we study the philosophical and
spiritual aspects of Shotokan Karate as well as physical training and practical
applications.
Our schools are based in the Bronx and Westchester, NY. Our membership ranges from beginner to advanced students that come from across New York City with a wide variety of Shotokan backgrounds representing the teachings of many masters. We believe this pooling of knowledge has given us a very strong, dynamic and adaptable approach to the art and science that is Shotokan.
Our unique way of combining traditional martial arts training, etiquette, and philosophy with the modern concepts of fitness, self-defense, and competition is unparalleled. We ensure that your training is intense and vigorous, while maintaining a safe and fun learning environment that encourages individuals of all ages to reach their potential.
