A Legacy of Traditional Shotokan Karate-do
The Bend Karate Club stands as a beacon of traditional Shotokan Karate-do in Bend, Oregon. Founded in 1986, our dojo has been fostering physical and emotional growth through the ancient art of karate. Guided by the wisdom of Master Funakoshi's teachings, we strive to uphold the noble principles of this martial art.
Honing Your Skills and Empowering Your Potential
At the Bend Karate Club, we believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students of all ages and backgrounds can cultivate their potential. We adhere to the traditional Shotokan Karate-do philosophy, focusing on three core training concepts: Kata, Kihon, and Kumite.
Our Foundation: Kata
Kata forms the cornerstone of our training. Through precise movements and mindful breathing, we learn precision, coordination, and respect. These disciplined sequences, passed down through generations, provide a foundation for more advanced techniques.
Developing Skills: Kihon
Fundamental movement and blocking techniques form the essence of Kihon. With repeated practice, we refine our stances, strikes, and blocks, building a solid foundation for more complex applications.
Testing Your Limits: Kumite
Kumite, sparring, offers an opportunity to apply the skills learned in Kata and Kihon in a dynamic setting. Through controlled sparring, we enhance our reflexes, timing, and tactical awareness.
Our Dojo: A Place of Growth and Connection
Stepping into our dojo is like stepping into a sanctuary. Our spacious, 1000 square foot training floor boasts a unique suspension system that minimizes fatigue and maximizes training efficiency. Surrounded by supportive beams, our Dojo becomes a space for physical development and spiritual growth.
