Whittier Shotokan Karate, based in Whittier, CA, is a branch of Shotokan Karate of America, the original nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching traditional karate-do in the United States since 1956. Offering authentic and traditional karate training, it focuses on nurturing the mind, body, and spirit through martial arts practice.

Through karate practice, individuals can experience mental strengthening, increased composure, enhanced thought processes, deeper self-awareness, and heightened self-confidence. Physical benefits include improved coordination, faster reflexes, boosted stamina, and overall health enhancement. There are no binding contracts, allowing beginners to explore karate training without pressure.

Those interested in beginning their karate journey can locate the nearest SKA dojo to observe a practice session. Each dojo sets an affordable practice fee based on location and expenses. Shotokan Karate of America emphasizes the lineage of karate, tracing its origins back to Daruma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, and providing a comprehensive glossary of Japanese karate terminology for practitioners.
