We currently offer at least 5 adult and 2 kid classes per week,
with black belt instructors teaching every class.

View the full schedule in a new window any time.

Adult beginners and juniors or kids can expect, within a
very short period of time, to practice four times weekly.

Since Valley Shotokan is a non-profit organization our dues are very reasonable.
Everyone who starts karate practice will be required to pay a one-time initiation fee. This includes your membership in the S.K.A. ($75) and three months dojo dues.

Juniors (ages 6-15) and Students in High School/College:
$200 upon enrollment. Includes:
Membership in SHOTOKAN KARATE OF AMERICA (S.K.A.)
All classes attended for the first three months.
$40 per month thereafter

Adults:
$225 upon enrollment. Includes:
membership in SHOTOKAN KARATE OF AMERICA (S.K.A.)
All classes attended for the first three months.
$65 per month thereafter

Family Rates (One or more adults and/or one or more children in one family):
$125 each upon enrollment. Includes:
Membership in SHOTOKAN KARATE OF AMERICA (S.K.A.)
All classes attended, for each person, the first three months.
Thereafter, for two people in the same family, we will "cap" monthly dues at $75. For three or more people practicing in one family, special consideration will be given.

At first, Valley Shotokan will administer organizational dues, but the following year the S.K.A. will send the appropriate renewal forms for the upcoming year. Those who join Valley Shotokan during the last three months of the year will be given credit toward S.K.A. membership dues the following year. Membership in SHOTOKAN KARATE OF AMERICA (S.K.A.) must be renewed every January.

For the first month, beginners will be allowed to practice in T-shirts and sweat pants, but will be required to purchase a gi or karate outfit at the end of the first month. Karate outfits usually cost about $25.00.
For uniformity, we ask that you purchase your outfit through us.

Before joining Valley Shotokan we request that all adults watch at least one of our Wednesday or Thursday night classes (7:30 p.m. & 9:00 p.m.).

If you are interested in our junior class, please observe Wednesday night class (6:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.) or Saturday class (9:30 a.m. & 10:30 a.m.).

All joining or new members must sign two waivers of liability, one for us and the other for our parent organization.
If you are interested in membership with Valley Shotokan, ask any one of our black belts for membership forms.
