Old School Karate
Shorin Taikyoku Ken
A kata-based system of Karate — trained for real application, not points or belts. Home of Urban Bunkai.
Our lineage traces back to the ancient roots of Karate, originating in China (Southern Shaolin - 南少林), evolving in Okinawa (To De - 唐手),
and flourishing in Japan (Karate - 空手). In a world where traditional values like courtesy, effort, patience, honesty, and self-control are
scarce, we stand as a beacon of their unwavering practice. Our Kata-based style of Karate emphasizes real-world applications through the rigorous
training of bunkai and pressure-testing. With over five decades of martial arts experience, we proudly offer the guidance of one of Colorado's
most experienced instructors. Join us and embark on a journey of self-improvement, respect, and excellence in the authentic art of Karate.
