Portland Shotokan Karate-Do Australia

We are a non-profit organisation whose primary aim is the development of a dynamic, traditional style of Japanese Shotokan karate. Karate is a wonderful way to achieve more than you ever thought you could… both physically and mentally… for all ages.

WSKF karate teaches traditional and contemporary Shotokan style karate. Shotokan karate is a non aggressive self-defence martial art. Our instructors are certified by WSKF HQ in Japan. The purpose of WSKF is to develop and promote WSKF Shotokan karate in Victoria Australia.

The standards taught are of the highest level in keeping with the technical requirements set by WSKF Chief Instructor Hitoshi Kasuya Sensei.

Our goal is to maintain these standards, to grow and to help all our students achieve their personal goals and aspirations.

Karate helps develop strength, co-ordination, and agility. It can be practised at any time, in any place, for any length of time by people of all ages. It requires no special equipment. Karate fosters the development of spiritual qualities: courage, courtesy, integrity, humility, and self-control.
