U.S. Shotokai Karate

U.S. Shotokai Karate Traditional Japanese Karate for ALL ages with a focus on Respect, Discipline, Self Defense & Fitness! U.S. In 2021, like many of you U.S. Relieve stress.

Shotokai Karate began as an affordable community project for the youth of Passaic County on April 28th, 2018 at NJ Fitness Passaic. While helping students develop self confidence, grow mentally & as individuals, it had also grown internally as adult classes were implemented due to interest in what we offered. Traditional karate teaching that goes beyond kicks and punches. Pre-pandemic membership w

as growing at an incredibly rapid rate thus changing our small community program, into a full fledged dojo. This entailed greatening our space, getting more equipment and expanding our schedule to accommodate for membership student growth. This was accomplished through the generosity and support of parents and past students now adults themselves that experienced, saw and believed in the benefits of what we share with our students. Shotokai Karate has had it share of difficulty. It is through this adversity we have refocused our goals along working together our host facility at NJ Fitness to help individuals and families get back to some form of normalcy. Being stuck at home has seen an up rise in child boredom, adult stress, physical & mental health. In addition we understand these financial times are also difficult. This is why together with NJ Fitness we've created new highly affordable membership programs for single adults & families looking to get active again. Get active again or just have a sense of normalcy. Whatever you need or reason, it is our mission to help our community at all ages get back on it's feet again by providing affordable, positive outlets and alternatives to our community and neighboring townships.

One last time, thank you. Merry Christmas & a very Happy New Year everyone.

Tonight’s final class for .s._shotokai took place. It was bitter sweet working with some of my longest students during my time. We smiled, we teared, we hugged. Tomorrow, I expect much more for the final farewell. As much as it hurts, I am filled with joy & pride of how far these students came…as people.

It is with the heaviest of hearts I publicly announce at the conclusion of our Dojo Christmas Party tomorrow, U.S. Shotokai Karate will be closing it’s doors.

First and foremost I’d like to thank my wife who supported my dream. You believed more than I did on many occasions. You were and always are my waking breath & daily inspiration.

I’d like to thank Shihan Kai Leung for the guidance & support before this journey began and through it’s entirety.

My oldest students and dearest friends David “Doc” Fagan, Joaquin Esquilin & Nelson Diaz. For ALWAYS being there for over 30 years, believing in me.

Thank you to every student and parent that became a part of our Dojo Family past and present. We will forever be family.

Thank you to Luis Salomon of NJ Fitness for also believing in me, giving us a home for over 5 years & doing so much for me personally.

Thank you to all of our followers & supporters.

Tomorrow we bid farewell. But, let it be with tears of joy not sadness.
