Welcome! Connecticut Budo Karate is a premier-quality karate school that provides instruction and guidance in the art and practice of traditional Japanese karate. While sport and competition is a part of what we do, it is secondary to karate as a means of personal protection and development.
For parents who want their children to develop the skills necessary to stay safe and succeed in life, we have programs for children from pre-school through high school and into adulthood. We provide safe age-appropriate karate training while focusing on the development of attributes that foster success throughout one’s life.
The adults in our school study Kyokushin karate – an arduous style of martial arts known for its full-contact fighting and mentally and physically strong participants. However, our karate is centered on personal development and training avenues exist for all people. That development entails seriously practical matters such as real-life self defense and at the same time development of mental and spiritual fortitude. The greatest competition is against oneself, with the self of today pitted against those things about ourselves we wish to overcome or change.
