Classes currently take place every Monday, structured into two dedicated sessions to ensure individualized attention from our Technical Board.
Educational play seamlessly integrates with fundamental martial mechanics for kids and teens aged 6 to 14. Building core agility, bilateral coordination, spatial awareness, and quick reflexes. Upholding traditional dojo etiquette translates directly into enhanced focus at school and genuine respect for classmates.
It is never too late to begin martial training. Our adult curriculum welcomes beginners seeking cardiovascular endurance and core strength, as well as experienced martial artists pursuing precision in traditional Shotokan. Training promotes joint mobility and washes away the stresses of modern city life.
Focused entirely on real-world safety. True self-defense begins with spatial awareness and conflict diffusion. When physical altercations are unavoidable, students learn decisive joint locks, rapid wrist escapes, and instinctive counter-strikes designed to disable attackers immediately.
Classes currently take place every Monday at our dojo in Viale Lazio 19 (Milan Porta Romana).

You can always take a free trial lesson on Mondays upon prior booking.
Everything you need to know before stepping into the dojo for your first free trial.
You do not need a traditional uniform (karategi) for your first session. Comfortable sports attire such as a breathable T-shirt and track pants/sweatpants is ideal. Please bring clean flip-flops or slippers to move from changing rooms to the mat. We practice barefoot on the tatami.
Yes, absolutely! Traditional Shotokan accommodates all fitness levels and ages. You do not need preexisting flexibility or stamina. Many of our dedicated adult students started with zero background and discovered improved stamina, balance, and stress relief step by step.
For your single free trial lesson, signing our standard on-site liability waiver is sufficient. If you decide to register officially, Italian sports law and FIKTA federation regulations require a non-competitive sports medical certificate with an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Official examinations are held twice annually (winter and summer sessions) following standardized FIKTA criteria. Each belt reflects continuous personal growth, commitment, and technical understanding assessed by the Sensei throughout the year.
