Happy New Year!  
As the Pennsylvania Shotokan Karate Club welcomes a New Year Year!  All we ask that every time you walk through the PSKC door, you give 100% each and every class.  Not only will you honor yourself, but you will honor all the current and former members and the history makers that have passed through our doors.  We have had so many great moments with the great students who have trained with PSKC since the Fall of 1992 and look forward to many new ones!  
PSKC is a premier traditional Japanese karate dojo which has developed homegrown champions and Team USA members. My proudest accomplishment in karate has and always will be the passing on of my knowledge and experiences to the students and watching them succeed in the dojo, competition and most importantly...Life!
Be Proud of yourself, your commitment and your willingness to lead a path of self improvement and development!

End of Year Message from Sensei

As we come to the end of the year, the dojo continues to improve on its quality of classes based on the high level instruction given each week.  The journey of karate will be a fulfilling one that will only be realized by the ones who continue down this path!  Simply showing up is not a journey!  Applying karate training in all aspects of your  daily life (specifically respect) will help with centering yourself.       
I love to teach and continue to learn new ways of instructing in hopes that you will gain more understanding from PSKC instruction. Sharing my knowledge and experiences with students gives me purpose in hopes that it will in someway impact their lives positively and assist them with taking on those adversities and challenges when presented.   Everyone one of my students has a special place in my heart and always know that I do not hold back any of my teachings and will always do what is right by you!  It is my hope that you will do the same in time and truly know the feeling of a students successes because you had a small part in that journey.
The training is tough and the journey is not always smooth and easy, but if you stay the course of a true karate-ka, you will be able to achieve anything!  Becoming a PSKC Black belt is not a destination, but a  journey that takes a lifetime to understand.    
PSKC will always challenge each one of its members to improve their skills, but more importantly, have a stronger sense of family and purpose.
I want to THANK YOU for your dedication and SUPPORT of PSKC since 1992!

Lisa and I want to thank you for being part of our dojo family and wish you and your family a Happy Holiday Season and Happy New Year!
