Japan Karate Institute

description of the school

“Not to conquer others, but to conquer the weakness within oneself”...this is the purpose of Wado Ryu karate training at Japan Karate Institute Daniel Island. As a traditional dojo, the aim of our instruction is to develop respect, focus, discipline and self-esteem in our students. We do not teach “how to fight” nor do we promote violence as a way to handle confrontation. Using centuries-old techniques and methods, the karate-ka (practitioners of karate) who train in our dojo not only learn a practical, potentially lethal and highly effective form of martial art, they also learn the humbleness and responsibility that is required when attaining such skills.
