About Us
Japan Shotokan Karate (JSK) Renmei India, is Indian Chapter of Japan Shotokan Karate. Shotokan (松濤館 Shōtōkan) is a style of karate, developed from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yoshitaka) Funakoshi (1906–1945). Gichin was born in Okinawa and is widely credited with popularizing "karate do" through a series of public demonstrations, and by promoting the development of university karate clubs, including those at Keio, Waseda, Hitotsubashi (Shodai), Takushoku, Chuo, Gakushuin, and Hosei.
Funakoshi had many students at the university clubs and outside dojos, who continued to teach karate after his death in 1957. However, internal disagreements (in particular the notion that competition is contrary to the essence of karate) led to the creation of different organisations—including an initial split between the Japan Karate Association (headed by Masatoshi Nakayama) and the Shotokai (headed by Motonobu Hironishi and Shigeru Egami), followed by many others—so that today there is no single "Shotokan school", although they all bear Funakoshi's influence
As the most widely practiced style, Shotokan is considered a traditional and influential form of karate do.

WHY SHOULD you JOIN WITH US?
We user the Shotokan style. "Shotokan” is considered the first technique of modern Karate and is one of the most widely used styles today. Practitioners use steady, powerful movements and center themselves in a deep horse stance.
Our training in Karate generally involves four aspects, or fundamentals. These fundamentals are the different forms of movements that make up combinations and techniques practiced in Karate.
- Kihon (Basic techniques)
- Kata (Form or pattern)
- Bunkai (Study of techniques encoded in kata or "kata application")
- Kumite (Sparring or paired form).
People often confuse different styles of martial arts, and interchange the names of these martial arts. It can be easy to confuse Karate with other martial arts, especially because so many arts employ similar techniques.
- Karate focuses on striking moves with an emphasis on open-handed techniques. While kicking is involved, the majority of Karate combinations involve the use of punches, knee, and elbow strikes.
- Other martial arts involve different fighting techniques and the use of weapons. Aikido and Judo are two martial arts that focus on grappling on taking your opponent to the ground. Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art which has various styles that are inspired by animal movements, or by Chinese philosophies, and work to improve muscle and cardiovascular fitness.
- While several martial arts use a ranking system depicted by a belt or sash, Karate has a specific system of colored belts. White represents the beginner with black representing a master.
We regularly conduct tournaments for male and female
