Overview

Discover Traditional Karate in the Heart of Real Tokyo

Step into real Tokyo life in a quiet neighborhood of Shimo, Kita City.

This 120-minute Karate experience is more than just kicks and punches—
it’s a chance to feel the heart of Japanese Budo.

Your teacher, Nori, has practiced Karate for over 30 years.

We begin with seiza (formal sitting) and mokuso (silent meditation) to calm the mind and focus.

In Karate, there is a special training method called Kata—a sequence of movements that includes many techniques.

From one Kata, we will pick a few movements and enjoy exploring how the body moves in a Japanese way.

This practice uses deep breathing and good posture, helping you feel balanced in both body and mind.

At the end of the training, we return to seiza and mokuso.

Then, we clean the dojo with zokin-gake—a traditional Japanese way of wiping the floor with cloths.

It is not just for hygiene, but also a way to clear the heart and finish with a fresh feeling.

You are welcome to join alone, as a couple, or in a small group.

After training, we enjoy a cozy time with drinks and conversation—just like dojo friends do.

We look forward to meeting you in Tokyo!
