Since the birth of the second man, no matter how sophisticated our weapons have become, the individual has seldom lived without, at sometime, facing an aggressor in bare-handed combat. The Karate instructors at YOSHUKAI KARATE of TAMPA BAY are equally concerned with their students fighting ability and cultivation of the mind and spirit.     

    Here at our YOSHUKAI DOJOS, or training halls, the student is confronted by a discipline which taxes his patience and endurance to the limit, a code which demands self-control and courtesy and instructors who accept nothing less than perfection.

   We are dedicated to providing the highest quality instruction. Subject matters taught include: KATA (Forms); Kumite (Sparring) or fighting ability; Physical conditioning; Functional self-defense techniques as revealed in classical forms; Use of traditional weaponry; Competition training; Training in martial arts philosophy. Emphasis on practicality of technique.
