Karate Dojo Stralsund e.V.

Welcome to our association at the Karate Dojo Stralsund e.V. We are pleased to welcome you to our pages. This means you are interested in martial arts and may even want to learn it. Karate is an ancient martial art. Brought from China to Japan centuries ago, it evolved from the relaxation and defense exercises of monks into a continuously developing martial art. Funakoshi, Gichin established modern karate in the early to mid-20th century. Soon after, the sport spread worldwide and is eagerly practiced. Karate is indeed an art. A martial art. And like all arts, it must be learned diligently. This may deter some athletes, but those who persist discover the many opportunities this martial art offers. You will learn self-defense, self-assertion, mutual respect, and discipline as an athlete with us. Additionally, endurance, dynamics, speed, stretching, and coordination skills are developed. Training is tailored to each individual's physical abilities. Enjoyment of movement and joy in sports
