Since 1981, Camarillo Shotokan Karate Do Center has offered authentic Japanese Karate (empty-hand) training at its finest for children age three and up and adults. The dojo (training hall) is structured in a traditional setting and students practice the classical JKA (Japan Karate Association) style of Shotokan. In addition to the obvious physical techniques, we also teach proper etiquette, philosophy and Asian customs.

We have weekly classes for all ages and periodically we invite guest instructors to train our students. Many other excellent instructors have brought their talent and experience to our dojo. A few of these excellent teachers include:

· Sensei Stan Schmidt (8th Dan, JKA So. Africa)

· Sensei Harry Cook (author & historian from U.K.)

· Sensei Mike Stone (sparring champion undefeated in 92 consecutive matches)

· Sensei T. Namiki (7th Dan, Head Instructor JSKF)

· Sensei Wolfgang Dzonsko (Sonsbeck, Germany)

· Shihan Shalom Avitan (8th Dan, Israel)

· The late Shihan E. Hamile (8th Dan, founder of West Coast Shotokan)

· Sensei Nick Palise (6th Dan, JKA Michigan)

· Sensei Vern Vaden (6th Dan, ITKF International Kumite Champion)

· Sensei Penny Ringwood (ITKF International Women Kata Champion)

· Sensei Ruben Tinda-an (5th Dan, Chief Instructor in Philippines)

· Sensei Kensuke Seto  (7th Dan, JKA)
