Shotokan Karate of Garden Grove

Shotokan Karate of Garden Grove Shotokan Karate Garden Grove was founded in 1980 and led by Greg Scott, a student of Tsutomu Ohshima. (SKA).

Ohshima, a direct pupil of Master Funakoshi, introduced karate to the United States in 1955 and established the Shotokan Karate of America Inc. In 1922, having mastered two major styles in Okinawa, Master Gichin Funakoshi, then president of The Okinawa Association of the Spirit of Martial Arts, was chosen to demonstrate Karate at the first National Athletic Exhibition in Tokyo. This led to the int

roduction of the ancient martial art to the rest of Japan. At the urging of friends and officials, he remained in Tokyo to teach. In 1955, Tsutomu Ohshima, one of Master Funakoshi's last direct pupils (1948-1953, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan), came to the United States and was the first person to teach karate in this country. That same year he organized Southern California Karate Association, which has grown over the years to become a national non-profit organization, Shotokan Karate of America Inc. All of the instructors at Garden Grove Shotokan have personally received instruction and ranking from Tsutomu Ohshima in an effort to insure lineage. All of the instructors at Garden Grove Shotokan are professionals in the community as well as lifetime practitioners of karate-do. This creates excellent role models for children as well as a quality atmosphere of our adult members.
