Shotokan Karate of Ocala Florida Martial Arts & Self Defense Schools

Welcome To Shotokan Karate of Ocala

Shotokan Karate of Ocala teaches authentic Japanese Karate as originally introduced by Gichin Funakoshi. With a staff that has over 70 years of combined experience, we offer a full range of classes from the novice to the most experienced Karate-ka (student). Our philosophy of training follows along the same lines as our predecessor’s centuries ago.

With a proven curriculum, extensive cardio and muscle building programs, our students develop the strength, flexibility, and coordination to successfully advance in the most widely recognized martial art in the world today. Proven time tested methods of core building give our students the inner strength needed to perform devastating punches, kicks, and blocks.

While the origins of karate were designed for combat, today’s martial arts focus on the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of our daily lives. Our students receive the tools to improve their overall physical well-being, find self-confidence, reduce daily stress, develop focus, and discipline of the mind. Shotokan Karate of Ocala believes the dojo (school) is a place where the Karate-ka can learn and apply these principles in a safe environment. The true spirit of training is to encourage personal growth as you expand your knowledge and techniques.
