Kyoto - Happy Christmas 2025Friday 19th December 2025 marks our final training session of the year at Kyoto Shotokan Karate Dojo.

As we close out another strong year of training, progress and shared experience, we’d like to thank all our students, parents, instructors and friends for being part of the dojo throughout 2025.

From beginners taking their first steps on the tatami, to continued development across all grades, and the ongoing support from families and our wider karate community — this year has been built on commitment, consistency and the spirit of training together.

💭 Reflection & Looking Ahead

Karate is not measured in weeks or months, but in years of steady progression.

2025 has been another step forward — and 2026, our 30th anniversary year brings new opportunities to:

  • Develop technique and understanding
  • Build confidence and resilience
  • Continue strengthening our dojo community

🙏 Thank You

Thank you for your continued support, effort and commitment.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the New Year.
