Welcome to Guerrero’s Shotokan Karate Deciding on a Martial Arts school is an important decision and a personal commitment. There can be concerns about long term contracts, class schedules to fit your family’s needs and concerns about the personalities of the instructors. At Guerrero’s Shotokan Karate we do not require long term contracts, nor do we have any hidden costs. The instructors welcome the beginning student and understand the special needs of the Beginner. Children always enjoy the Karate environment. The self confidence, self discipline and the self control that the student develops throughout his/her training, will determine the level of success they will have as an adult. Children gain skills through Martial Arts training that they will use throughout their lives. True Karate training will give the student something much needed in today’s world: which is the confidence to say "No" to the potentially harmful peer pressure that children face in school. Karate replaces peer pressure with positive thoughts and actions. With this, we can feel confident that our children will go from being followers to being "Leaders". These are a few of the many benefits that the students will gain with the proper training in a good and true Karate school. Karate Will Change your Life…. Karate will offer you benefits that you will not find in any other sport or activity. There is a blend of physical, mental and spiritual elements. Karate is fun, yet Challenging. You will build gradually into the best shape of your life. Exercise will have a purpose. Karate is the perfect life long activity. It is for every one, young and old. Even people with physical disabilities can learn Karate. You do not need to be in perfect shape or be a good athlete; all you need to have is the drive and determination to change your life. At Guerrero’s Shotokan you will meet awesome people who will not only become your friends, but will feel like family. We are all ready to help you begin your journey into Martial Arts. COME IN & JOIN THE FUN WITH OUR KARATE FAMILY.
We teach a traditional Japanese form of Karate that was first introduced to Japan in 1922. Shotokan originated in Okinawa, a small island south of Japan. The Shotokan style was established by Gichin Funakoshi. "Shotokan" is Funakoshi’s pen name: "Shoto", means "Pine Waves" and "Kan" means training hall, or hall. Shotokan, the pen name, was given to Funakoshi by his students and was posted above the entrance of the hall where Funakoshi taught. Shotokan is a traditional Martial Art.
This means that improvements in character and mental discipline are as important as physical skill, if not more so.
Why waste countless, boring hours on a treadmill, when you can get in shape and learn to defend yourself?
