Welcome to our website! San Diego Shotokan, Encinitas is a member dojo (martial arts training facility)
of Shotokan Karate of America. Shotokan Karate of America (SKA), a non-profit educational
organization, was founded in 1956 by Tsutomu Oshima, a student of Gichin Funakoshi. The mission of SKA is to
teach Karate as a martial art to the public during regularly scheduled classes in affiliated dojos and
universities throughout the United States and abroad. Over the past 50 years, we have grown to one of the
world's largest and most respected martial arts organizations with over 100 member dojos in the United
States, and affiliate organizations and international dojos in 17 countries on four continents.
San Diego Shotokan, Encinitas is integrated into the San Dieguito Adult Education program at the San Dieguito
Academy High School. We welcome all adults, and minor's 13 and older when accompanied by parent, to join and
study karate with us. Prior karate or martial arts experience is not required.
