About Us

Karatedo Doshinkan incorporates movement that has been developed over many centuries to produce the greatest level of health. The emphasis is on cooperative partner training in a safe, noncompetitive environment. We do not participate in tournaments.

People of all ages, male and female, in different states of health and fitness, train together, each getting what their needs require. Not only are classes not dangerous, but they help protect against the stresses, illnesses and injuries of everyday life in our society.

Soft and hard styles are incorporated, as are throwing and grappling techniques. All classes are for adults - children are accepted only by special arrangement.

 Classes are lead by Shihan Michelson, 8th Dan, with over 30 years teaching experience.
