About JKA Shotokan Karate Club

Shotokan Karate Club Dubai—an internationally renowned institution—was established in Dubai, UAE in 2011. As a proud member of the Japan Karate Association (JKA) and approved by the UAE Ministry of Youth and Sports and the UAE Karate Federation, we specialize in the traditional and scientifically proven practice of Shotokan Karate.
