Okinawan Karate Club

The Okinawan Karate Club is an excellent (and unique!) karate studio. But I’m biased, because I train there! So let me give you five reasons why…
1) The karate. It’s a solid traditional-​style dojo that will teach you practical self-​defense moves along with the philosophy of martial arts training. It will improve balance, flexibility, and confidence, while making you use your brain. This is more challenging than you’d expect. But it starts out slow, so don’t worry if this is your first foray into the world of karate!
2) The workout. The instructors are highly experienced and definitely focused on overall fitness and progress of students, and run classes with this in mind. Take that, globo-​gym! The instructors are also well respected in the martial arts community and have built a large network of guest instructors from Uechi schools across the country.
3) The students. You can get as much or as little as you want to from training with students of similar or more advanced skill, and there’s a lot to take away if you want it. You can just come in a few times a week and train and go home, or you can meet some new friends and have people to grab sushi with after class. It’s a pretty hard working and diverse little community.
4) Convenience. Classes are scheduled after work on weekdays and on weekends, and there are separate schedules for adult training and for kids.
5) Expertise. The Okinawan Karate Club is the neighborhood martial arts studio of Stoughton. The instructors have been training students here for over 35 years, and have students from multiple generations.

The real deal in Martial Arts. A traditional dojo with authentic ranking from Okinawa. The staff is well respected in the martial arts community for good reason.
