We teach the Shotokan style of karate. This Art originated in Japan, and was founded by Funagoshi Sensei. This art is taught in most of its original form, with a modification of Bunkai techniques to coincide with modern-day situations and applied Jujitsu techniques.

The Hoteikan Karate-Do program accomplishes this through training in the following principles:

1. Kata: Pre-arranged movements.
2. Stances: Designed to improve balance and stability.
3. Blocks: The Art of deflection.
4. Strikes and kicks: Percussion techniques.
5. Tai-Sabaki movement: The Art of body movement and evasion.
6. Bunkai training: Applied interpretation of Kata techniques.
7. One-step attacks: Pre-arranged defense to improve timing.
8. Free-style sparring: Light contact fighting utilizing techniques.
9. Competition training: Techniques and strategies for competition.
10. Combat self-defense applications: Real situational techniques for survival.
