Welcome to the Sakura Karate-Do Club of Red Deer, We are a Shotokan Karate Club,  member of the International  Shotokan Karate Federation (ISKF) Alberta. Our primary objectives are to teach and foster the development of authentic Shotokan Karate. The Japanese martial art of Shotokan Karate is one of the most traditional and widely practiced forms of karate in the world today. Shotokan puts heavy focus on kihon (basic techniques), kata (forms) and kumite (sparring) to develop a range of powerful, dynamic techniques.

 Shotokan Karate training has many benefits when correctly taught and practiced. In addition to the self-defense's element, it builds confidence, it develops physical fitness and it improves stamina, immunity & longevity. It can also assist in weight reduction, enhance self-awareness, reduces stress and cultivate intellectual and academic ability. 

We at the Sakura Karate Club will provide you or your kids with expert and friendly tuition to help you achieve your goals, and I hope that you will visit us to see for yourself what we have to offer. Yours in training,

Geovanni Gutierrez, P.Eng, 4th Dan, ISKF
