The Dojo Kun (Principles)
The dojo principals of Karate, which is recited by all students attending the training session training, emphasizes the cultivation of the spirit of inquiry, the maintenance of loyalty and effort, the respect for others, and the courteous behavior without the use of violence.
The purpose of the dojo kun is to remind students, regardless of rank, that the physical, mental, and spiritual growth achieved through Karate training extends beyond the walls of the dojo.
After each line is loudly recited by the instructor or one of the senior members of the dojo, all attending students are required to immediately repeat it in unison before performing the final bow.

Unlock Your Potential with Our Karate Classes
New World Shotokan Karate (SA)
Our instructors are accomplished, high-ranking black belts who take their teaching seriously, especially towards children, combining a comprehensive education in well-established, orthodox karate practice and philosophy with modern sports-orientated competition karate.
Traditional karate is about effective self-defence under all conditions. When we refer to traditional karate, we mean more than just kicks, punches and blocks. Shotokan’s founder Gichin Funakoshi emphasized that a fight can end up on the ground, for which you need skills other than kicking, punching and blocking.
