Shotokan Karate Club
The Shotokan Karate club is an on-campus RSO that strives to help both UMass students and members of the surrounding community feel safer, stronger, and more confident. We go beyond just self-defense and help club members strengthen both their body and their mind through Kihon (basic techniques), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring). Our philosophy teaches students how to defend themselves and others while also teaching discipline, specifically to not act aggressively. Our club follows the Dojo Kun which reads as follows:
Seek Perfection of Character
Be Faithful
Endeavor
Respect Others
Refrain from Violent Behavior
