The non-profit American Karate-Do Shotokai (AKDS) is a unique, traditional Japanese, non-competition martial art that provides practical self-defense training for those who cannot normally afford to participate.
Our motto is “Discipline, Integrity, Respect”. Certified instructors and students from Louisiana Tech Shotokai Karate Club donate their time and expertise to teach these skills. No experience is necessary to join. Youth who attend Louisiana Tech after high school are automatically admitted into the University Club.
Classes for youth ages 8 to 15 years old (adults by invitation) are held every Tuesday from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Classes for adults are from 6:30 to 7:30 PM on Tuesday, ages 16+.
Rates are $1 per session/per person. A $10 monthly membership qualifies participants for free belt grading and discounts on uniforms and equipment. Learn more at www.shotokai.org, or contact the instructor Robert Anderson, a Green Belt, at akds.ruston@gmail.com.
