Welcome to Sebastian's premier Japanese Karate dojo, where the essence of "karate" meaning "empty-hand" is taught. At our hombu-dojo, Way of Life Shotokan Karate, we proudly carry over 40 years of experience in instructing Shotokan Karate. Our roots stem from the vibrant inner New York City area, where we have empowered both children and adults alike through our traditional teachings. Our diverse student community ranges from ages 5 to 81, proving that one is never too old to embark on a karate journey. With unparalleled expertise, we offer exceptional instruction in traditional Shotokan Karate, alongside comprehensive self-defense training classes. Each class combines strength and endurance training, tactical drills, and technical exercises, honing both karate and self-defense techniques. To ensure individualized attention, classes are structured in smaller groups, tailored to specific belt levels. Don't forget to connect with us on  Facebook page and Instagram account, and download our Dojo App from the Android or iPhone App Store, where you can access Way of Life Shotokan Karate of Florida. Join us in embracing the ultimate goal of Karate - the perfection of character, as stated by the esteemed Gichin Funakoshi.
