World SoKarate Federation
American SoKarate Association
The World SoKarate Federation – WSF which was founded to carry on, develop and pass on the true system and spirit of Full Contact Budo Karate. Our aim is to contribute to a better society, which is based on tolerance, love and peace. Our aim is to train your body, mind, and spirit together in order to realize the fullness of human potential.
We at the WSF reject all ethnic, gender, religious, political, philosophical, nationalistic, age discrimination and prejudice, furthermore, upholds and promotes equal rights, friendly international relations, and world peace.
SoKarate is a martial art for all, without restriction of age or gender! We pay great attention to both the physical and psychological sides training, exercises to develop flexibility and endurance. SoKarate has a strong philosophy of a healthy lifestyle which and not only teaches the physical aspects of SoKarate but also strives to bring you calmness and a balance between mind and body.
Most importantly SoKarate seeks to develop in each student a ‘non-quitting’ spirit. No matter what the obstacle or difficulty — emotional, physical, financial — we want students to feel empowered and not be overcome by any of these problems. The sincere practice of SoKarate can impress this idea into the spirit. This is the modern interpretation of the Bushido Spirit of the samurai.
We invite you to learn more about SoKarate, our philosophy, which makes SoKarate unique and so attractive to those interested in true Full Contact Martial Arts – Budo.
What to Expect
We are a serious martial arts school looking for highly motivated men and women who are interested in improving themselves both physically and mentally. At SoKarate, the competition is with yourself, not with others. We are not concerned with whether you are better or worse than someone else. Our only goal is that each day, when you leave, you are a little better than when you came. We provide you with the program, supervision, and atmosphere that will allow you to realize your full potential for growth and achievement.
Self-Defense
SoKarate is one of the most effective and efficient forms of self-defense available. You learn to use your entire body as a weapon, developing the ability to defend yourself against assailants much larger and stronger than yourself. Hand, elbow, knee, and foot techniques are taught based on their effectiveness and practical application in street situations. Men and women, old and young, have all found SoKarate to be a practical solution to the dangers of increasing crime and violence. In today’s society, your safety is your personal responsibility. Self-defense training is an insurance policy against the hazards of city living. Start now. Begin to experience the safety and confidence that comes with being able to protect yourself and those you care for.
Our Classes
Get fitter, become more confident & learn valuable self-defence skills. Our Martial Arts programs are developed on REAL WORLD experience, NOT on theory. WSF teaches traditional Japanese Fullcontact Karate with modern principles and values. Our classes allow you to ease into the program slowly and safely. It is not necessary that you have any previous karate experience or that you are in good physical condition. You progress at a pace consistent with your ability and level of fitness. You are neither moved too fast nor held back. If you have previous experience or are in good physical condition you can progress more quickly. If you need more time to develop, you will not feel pressured. Everyone is treated as an individual.
Physical Fitness
SoKarate provides you with a complete program in physical conditioning. Our exercises are safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs. SoKarate training utilizes virtually every muscle in your body. You notice new power and stamina as your entire body becomes firm and toned. SoKarate develops flexibility and coordination. Our progressive stretching exercises will help you to develop and maintain a flexible, limber body. Tightness and stiffness in the muscles and joints will disappear. You will experience a new agility and coordination. Maintaining a limber, flexible body is an important ingredient in looking and feeling young.
SoKarate Meditation
True Budo develops both the mind and the body. SoKarate Meditation is a time- proven method for developing a calm, focused mind. Through our meditation program, you will achieve the ability to concentrate more fully and think more clearly. Meditation is incorporated into every class. In addition, we have separate classes that focus on strengthening & improving your meditation skills. Our meditation combined with our SoKarate training develops a quality we call «Bushido Spirit». Bushido Spirit means non-quitting spirit. It is a special kind of self- discipline that can be applied to every aspect of one’s life. Whether making career changes, going back to school, solidifying personal relationships, or improving work performance, our students have found their SoKarate experience of great benefit. SoKarate – This is a chance to change your Spirit, Mind, Body and Life for the better!
We also offer specialised training in Self-defense & Anti bullying for children and adults, Women’s self-defense courses, individual training, Kyu and Dan tests with the issuance of international certificates and winter and summer camps. SoKarate is a modern Full Contact Martial Art with traditional Budo values.
What is Full Contact Karate?
Full Contact Karate, also known as SoKarate, Kyokushin Karate, etc. is a style of martial arts that emphasizes realistic combat scenarios.
Unlike traditional Karate, the SoKarate allows participants to engage in full contact sparring, where strikes are delivered with full force and intent.
At Rekunoff Dojo, our experienced instructors will guide you through the fundamentals of Full Contact Karate, teaching you proper techniques for punches, kicks, and defensive maneuvers. You’ll learn how to generate power in your strikes, improve your speed and agility, and develop the mental focus necessary for competitive sparring.
