WEST LOS ANGELES KARATE

At West Los Angeles Karate we are dedicated to teaching traditional Japanese style Shotokan Karate-Do and have operated non stop since it was founded in 1972 by George Takahashi. The instructors all have 30 - almost 50 years of martial arts experience. They are all volunteers who share teaching duties while continuing to train themselves... Shotokan Karate is a strong traditional form of Karate and the most widely practiced style of Karate in the world. At WLAK we honor that tradition in our training. We practice traditional Shotokan Karate with emphasis on form and practicality of Karate as a self defense system... Rooted in long history and tradition we concentrate on practicing effective Shotokan style karate for both physical, mental and self defense purposes as well as more modern competition style Karate or sport Karate. Our instructors have collectively more than 100 years of experience in the Art of Karate as they each have trained for more than 30 years, and two have trained..
