Shorin-Ryu Karate of Williamsburg is the premier training center for traditional karate- an alternative to the costly, contract-based martial art schools found today.
The benefits of our training go beyond powerful self-defense skills. Weight loss, stress relief, whole body fitness, focus and confidence make our classes an invaluable investment for families and individuals.
We stick to training methods that have been proven effective for centuries. We have the credentials and experience to provide you with a depth, accuracy and point of view that isn't available elsewhere.

Our school is the USA Training Headquarters for Shorin-Ryu Karate Butokukan Association in Okinawa, Japan under grandmaster Sokuichi Gibu, Hanshi/10th degree black belt. Our Chief Instructor is John Spence, who is also a well-known school teacher here in Williamsburg.
”Our greatest responsibility is to teach martial arts as it has been passed down to us from our teachers in Japan. Traditional karate gives kids and adults incredible discipline, self-control, and confidence and these things build leaders in our community and schools.”states Spence. "In an authentic dojo, everyone is treated with the same respect, no one is special, and everything must be earned- life skills for success."
Over 160 adult and youth students practice weekly at the karate school where classes are offered for ages 5 and up.
