Shintai Karate-Do Lugano is a young Shotokan Karate school that has been dedicated to teaching and preserving this ancient Japanese martial art for the past five years.
Weekly training sessions take place in Lugano, the school’s main base. Through its affiliations with FTK (Federazione Ticinese di Karatè), JKS Switzerland (Japan Karate Shoto Federation) and SKF (Suisse Karate Federation), its activities also extend throughout Ticino and Switzerland.
Its mission is to train practitioners of all ages not only in technical and physical skills, but above all in mental and spiritual development. Karate-Do, the Way of Karate, is a way of life that embraces values such as Respect, Self-Control and Sincerity, helping to develop a strong mindset and a pure spirit.
