The Mississauga Shotokan Karate Club Mission Statement is to provide local, high quality Karate training in a family oriented environment and to ensure the Karate Club is sustainable and that karate training remains affordable and enjoyable.
Karate is a martial art focusing not only on physical techniques, but also on mental discipline and development. The word karate is a combinations of two Japanese characters: "kara", meaning empty, and "te", meaning hand; thus, "karate" means "empty hand." Karate is a way of life that goes well beyond the self-defense applications.
The Club’s instructors are teaching young people good sportsmanship, team cooperation, and discipline while striving towards a standard of excellence.
