KOFUKAN KARATE
By Sensei Rebecca Dobson
Our Classes
Training is held every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the traditional practice of Kofukan Shito-Ryu Karate-do. Our classes develop the whole person through the study of kihon (基本, fundamentals), kata (形, forms), and kumite (組手, sparring). Through consistent training, students develop physical fitness, practical self-defence skills, confidence, discipline, focus, and mental resilience. For those seeking a competitive pathway, training also provides opportunities to develop the technical and mental skills required for competition at local, national, and international levels. Whether beginning the study of karate or continuing a lifelong journey in martial arts, all students are encouraged to pursue continuous improvement, respect, perseverance, and excellence both inside and outside the dojo.
