About the provider
Foothill Shotokan Karate Dojo is sanctioned by Shotokan Karate of America. It is part of the Auburn Recreation District’s community service program, and its mission states that training encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual elements and emphasizes karate as an art, not a sport.
Students are encouraged to maintain discipline. A senior black belt leads the class. Traditional martial art forms of respect are practiced, including bowing at the door, beginning and ending each practice with rei (a bow), and students must bow when asking a senior a question about training. Gis must be kept clean and in good repair, and respect for one another is expected. NOTE: No practice if ARD is closed for a holiday.
