Benefits of the Washington Karate Association

The Washington Karate Association has been referred to as the "University of Karate Schools" because it adheres to an authentic, traditional pedagogy. We are considered a cut above because we are clear as to the methodologies required for optimal results at each age and level.

We endeavor to teach our students to become citizens who adhere to the value of diligence and discipline at home, school, work, and throughout our communities. All instructors are schooled in Hayashi-Ha Shito-ryu, Goju-ryu, Wado-ryu and Shotokan Karate with Shito-ryu as the pedagological grading system. Our instructors have college degrees, are schooled and tested biannually in the USA, are certified in CPR and have become leaders in their field at countless levels. In addition, we rigorously adhere to National Karate Federation and WKF regulations with regards to the sport. These accreditations are nothing if the students are not also exceptional. Contact us to find out how to join.
