SKVA, founded in 2004, is a friendly family club. The club consists of around 30 members aged 7 to 77, sometimes a parent together with their child. Safety, enjoyment of the sport, and mutual respect are our top priorities (Policy).

In Shotokan karate, performing correct techniques, coordination, and control of the body (and mind) are of great importance. Training mainly consists of a warm-up, basic techniques (‘kihon’), more complex exercises (‘kata’), and occasionally ‘free’ sparring (‘kumite’).

Training is intense, but physical contact at our club is limited. Real free sparring can only be attempted after many years of practice and is reserved for a few. Everyone is always welcome, just join 3 free trial lessons on Tue/Thu/Sat to get a feel for the atmosphere (Class Times).
