About This Cause
Washington Shotokan Association is a non-profit organization that has served the Eastside community for over 43 years teaching thousands of students the traditions of Shotokan Karate, while providing a safe and respectful environment for learning. When you visit the main dojo in Bellevue, Washington, you begin to understand why WSA is such a special place loved by children and adults alike. ...Beautiful 3,600 square foot floating oak training floor with wall to ceiling mirrors and stretch bars. ...Makiwara board (traditional karate punching board). ...Stretching room. ...Dressing rooms with showers for men and women. ...Separate classes for youth and adults, ranging from beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There are three major focuses: (1) Kihon (Basic Techniques) are basic punches, kicks, blocks, and stances used as the core foundation for practice. (2) Kata (Patterns of Moves) are sequences of blocks, punches, and other kihon that simulates a fight with multiple attackers. (3) Kumite (Sparring) is the application of blocks, strikes, kicks with a partner. Our dojo practices non-contact sparring, emphasizing control and technical precision. Along with practicing kihon, kata, and kumite, the foundation of Shotokan Karate lays in a philosophy of life both on and off the dojo floor. Our Dojo principles remind us to: (1) Seek Perfection of Character (2) Be Faithful (3) Endeavor (4) Respect Other (5) Refrain from Violent Behavior Free trial classes for anyone interested in Shotokan with no obligation to join.
