Shotokan Kenkojuku is part of the Japan Karate-Do Federation(JKF), and is one of the oldest and most traditional branches of Shotokan karate.
Developed by Master Okano, a student of Karate founder Gichin Funakoshi, Shotokan Kenkojuku is not just about fighting but about working together to help one another grow. The teachings center around the Dojo Kun, or code of the dojo, which emphasize perfection/ development of character, continual effort to improve and to understand the teachings, develop respect for others, and learn to restraint from violence.
As Master Gichin Funakoshi expressed, "without respect we are no better than animals learning to fight."
