At SKIF Kanazawa Group Trinidad and Tobago, we specialize in Shotokan Karate, a traditional Japanese style of martial arts known for its emphasis on form, balance, and powerful linear techniques.
Absolutely! Our dojo welcomes individuals of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. Our experienced instructors tailor classes to meet the needs and abilities of each student.
We welcome children aged 5 and above to join our kids' classes. Our children's program is designed to encourage physical fitness, discipline, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.
Beginners can start with comfortable workout clothes. Once you decide to continue with the classes, you can invest in a karate gi (uniform), which is traditionally worn during training.
For the best progress, we recommend attending classes at least twice a week. However, we offer flexible schedules to accommodate the varied needs of our students.

Not at all. While karate is a physical activity, you don't need to be in top shape to begin. Our classes will gradually build your fitness level over time. However, it's always a good idea to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
Karate uses a system of colored belts to denote rank and progress. Beginners start with a white belt and progress through various colors as they gain skills and experience, ultimately aiming for the black belt.
Yes, we do. Participation in tournaments provides an excellent opportunity for students to test their skills, build confidence, and represent our dojo. While not mandatory, we encourage students to participate when they feel ready.
You can sign up for classes through our website, contacting us on social media, telephone or email or by visiting our dojo in person. If you're unsure about joining, we offer trial classes for you to experience the training and meet our instructors before making a commitment.
