Victoria Sh*to-Ryu Satokai Karate

o his teacher, Grandmaster Seiko Suzuki of Japan. Our history of teachers goes back to karate's origins in Okinawa with Master Kenwa Mabuni. Our club follows the tradition teaching and training which develops the mind and spirit, not just the body. Sensei McCarthy and his highly qualified assistant instructors work closely with Sensei McCarthy to provide all students and particularly novices with as much one on one instruction as possible. The club is composed of a good mix of students. Males, females, juniors, adults, and families are all included. Whether you are interested in fitness, self-defense, fun, competition or any combination, there is something for you at the Victoria Sh*to-Ryu Karate Club. Please join us for two weeks of complimentary training Monday and Thursday nights from 7:00 PM to about 8:30 PM at no cost or obligation. We like to give people an opportunity to see what we are all about, meet the instructors and ask lots of questions before making a decision. Any instructor will be more than happy to answer your questions. All you need is some loose clothing that is easy to move in and a positive attitude. An important point to remember is that we all train together, so when watching advanced students performing advanced techniques, consider this something to aspire and not what is expected of you. Senior students have trained for years to do these things. It is important to train at your own pace and according to your own physical abilities and limitations. Most folks who try it enthusiastically come back for more.
