In their words
Testimonials
Our members train for years, not weeks. Here is what karate at Pacific Coast Karate Do has meant to two of them.
I have been practicing Shotokan karate for the last 23 years and just love it. There is no dull moment — always something new to learn and practice. Karate became part of my life; I only skip it when I am out of town. We have wonderful karateka in our dojo that became like family. My belief is that Ploke Sensei gave us one of the highest levels of Shotokan kihon and made us better karateka. If you love something and believe in its fundamentals, go for it. That's how I feel with karate.
I have been benefiting from practicing karate physically and mentally. Karate helps me improve my strength and stamina, flexibility, balance and self-defense ability. More importantly, karate helps me concentrate for better work and study habits, reduce stress, increase my confidence, and be self-motivated for perfection.
Every time I come to class, I feel the deep passion and dedication our community has for Shotokan Karate. This creates an incredible environment for learning and refining our skills, both physical and mental. Whether we are exploring advanced techniques or revisiting the basics, I feel like there is always something new to learn. These classes completely center me, and I am so grateful to be part of it all.
