The Shotokan Karate Club of Maryland

May 2024

As a quiet observer visiting from South Florida, I was honored to watch the 7pm students practice Friday. A true learning environment teaching the insightful art and Science of Shotokan.

An excellent choice if you're looking for authentic Japanese Karate. The instructors are very patient, experienced, and detailed. The adult classes are challenging and always educational. While the club is very serious about teaching authentic Shotokan Karate, everyone is so friendly and down to earth. I like the fact that there are no big egos in this dojo. I also like that this is not your typical strip mall Karate studio. It is a non-profit organization where the instructors truly love to teach their art. I highly recommend this club!

This is a great community of serious karate practitioners. It is the most welcoming club I’ve visited. It has a good mix of all levels and instructors are one of Shotokan‘s best. You can tell the instructors really care about the students and teaching good, quality, traditional karate. I would definitely recommended it for beginners and those with karate experience.
