KarateShokaido is a style of karate. The meaning of the two Japanese characters which make up the word "Karate" is "empty hands". Literally, Karate is a system of self defence based on the effective use of the unarmed body of the practitioner. Shokaido is neither a traditional or modernized style, but instead strives to conform to a North American style of instruction, while not compromising the values and forms of traditionalism. As a physical art, karate is almost without equal; providing excellent exercise while developing coordination and agility. The man most responsible for the systemization of karate, and the author of the "Twenty Principles of Karate", was Gichin Funakoshi. In 1948, the Japan Karate Association was organized, with Funakoshi as the chief instructor. The aim of karate is to develop the student both mentally and physically and spiritually
while forming a positive self image. Our AcademyWe are located in Kamloops, B.C. We have a Dojo on both the North
