Karate is a vigorous and enlightening art that is practiced worldwide. It is great exercise, inspirational, and better prepares you for all aspects of life and its challenges. Classes at the Kaikan Dojo are taught with an emphasis on mutual respect, self-discipline, and physical conditioning.

The Kaikan Dojo teaches a traditional curriculum that includes striking, blocking, kicking, as well as throwing, joint techniques, ground defense, mediation, and more. It involves empty hand (karate) and traditional weapons (kobudo). Through rigorous practice in fundamentals (kihon), forms (kata), and applications (kumite), our goal is to develop the body, spirit, and character.

Located inside San Francisco’s landmark Presidio, our dojo features spacious and clean bamboo floors, tall ceilings, and changing rooms. Ample parking available!
