Midwest Shotokan Karate Association is a Family-Oriented Karate program. Our emphasis is on the positive elements of Karate, especially with respect to honesty, integrity, and discipline both inside and outside of the dojo environment. Our teachings are based on the belief that true Karate transcends the basic elements of technique and athletics into the realm of a way to live one's life. This is Karate-Do, the way of Karate.
