JSKA Rochester

The JSKA Rochester LLC is committed to teaching traditional Shotokan Karate. Training at the JSKA is influenced by teachings of the Japan Karate Association (JKA), with instructors having direct training by JKA instructors. Classes cover Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring), along with self-defense and control techniques. The training is vigorous, athletic, and technical, promoting physical and mental development. Discipline, honor, and integrity are emphasized both on the dojo floor and in everyday life. It is a family-friendly environment with classes for all ages. Participation in sport tournaments is limited, focusing instead on preparing for real-life challenges. The dojo hosts summer camps and seminars throughout the year on various topics. Join us to get physically fit, relieve stress, and develop self-defense skills.
