CALIFORNIA AKDS CLUB

American Karate-Do Shotokai (or AKDS) utilizes exciting and innovative training methods developed by Mitsusuke Harada Sensei of the European KDS based in the United Kingdom. These exercises enable practitioners to master their own body condition under stressful or dangerous circumstances, thus making the manipulation of an aggressor more likely regardless of their size or experience. Because our focus is purely practical self-defense, we do not enter competitions or participate in point-sparring activities. Only a handful of AKDS clubs exist in the United States, and since words alone cannot describe what we do, come join us and experience it for yourself!
