OKUKAN Karate Melbourne

About OKUKAN Karate Melbourne

We teach the authentic Shitoryu style of karate – one of the four main styles of karate in Japan – as originally founded by Master Kenwa Mabuni and later endorsed by the World Karate Federation (WKF). We are a traditionalist mainstream school that proudly follows the global style guidelines provided by the Shitoryu/Shitokai headquarters in Japan. Our martial arts school has a challenging karate syllabus that includes over 50 forms and a large number of useful drills. Classes in our school are strongly influenced by generic Japanese approaches to oriental disciplines, such as Buddhism and the warrior culture.
