Shotokan Karate Minnesota – Minneapolis, MN
Shotokan Karate Minnesota (SKM) continues the legacy of Midwest Karate Association, established by Sensei Robert Fusaro in 1958. SKM is one of the oldest karate schools in the United States. They offer classes for all genders, for all levels of ability, and for ages 7 years and up. Sensei Fusaro’s goal was to teach the art of Karate-do to all willing to learn. Teaching karate has never been an occupation or career to him, it is a way of life. SKM is a martial arts school that teaches Shotokan Karate, a traditional Japanese style known for fast, powerful kicks and punches, and for deep, driving stances. SKM’s dojo is known for the friendly discipline of their classes and for detailed attention to form. They have classes for all ages and skill levels, and we welcome all new students. Whether you are looking for fitness, self-defense, or meeting other active people come in and watch class. SKM came together to create a new future for the dojo. SKM is collectively run by many of Sensei Fusaro’s long time students. Their core mission continues in the tradition of Sensei Fusaro; it is to share the highest quality traditional Japanese karate with our local community and to strengthen and enrich the lives that we touch.
Shotokan Karate Minnesota is located at 1517 Central Avenue NE Minneapolis, MN 55413. For more information call 612-870-1795 or visit their website.
