In Eagle County since 1973 Vail's longest running Martial Arts program, Shotokan Karate of Vail teaching young and old, boys & girls, men & women.
Through aerobic and non-aerobic exercise, you can increase your flexibility, strength, self-confidence, discipline and self-defense by challenging yourself and setting goals with Eagle County's longest running martial arts program.One of my instructors once said, "Training in karate teaches us not only self-defense but to respect others as well as ourselves. We train our body to be strong, and our mind and spirit to be patient, in order to become the best human beings we can be. Karate is a spiritual endeavor, a way to develop a person as an individual. Everything we learn in the dojo, or training hall is not always easy, often times it can be very difficult and demanding. This is also true of life. If we can overcome obstacles in our training, it enables us to have strong character to do the same in our everyday lives."
