About
Our mission is to train students in karate, which is a highly effective self-defense system that also enhances emotional self-control, concentration skills, physical and mental fitness, and provides stress reduction and increased confidence.
We are dedicated to teaching traditional Shotokan karate; one of the most effective and popular martial arts in the world.
We try hard to keep training simple, rigorous, practical, and to provide a challenging and positive experience for all of our students.
All instructors at Fremont Shotokan Karate have a passion for teaching traditional karate. I enjoy watching our students progress as they learn techniques and become more disciplined, centered and stronger.
