Karate-Do Ken Wa Kan | Karate New York City NY 10011

Our Mission
Our mission is to provide unparalleled excellence in the instruction of full contact Japanese karate such that it empowers people to discover and, ultimately, master themselves both on and off the mat. We accomplish this by maintaining traditional karate instruction in an environment rich in inquiry, innovation and the integration of leading edge somatic and western movement sciences.

We teach kata (forms) in both empty–hand and traditional weapons (bo, tonfa, nunchuku and sai). We train our students in the skills and practice of self-defense and controlled sparring. Our dojo is family oriented and deeply connected to the community through our relationships with local schools and residents.
