San Diego Peninsula Shotokan Karate Dojo

This Saturday the San Diego and San Diego Peninsula dojos held a joint practice in preparation for our Nisei Week demonstration. Always fun getting together with our north county neighbors.

Summer West Special Training 2026 led by Jason Aurand is in the books. Great training due to the hard work of Jason and the Godans.

What an incredible afternoon of training! On Saturday, March 28, the San Diego Peninsula Dojo welcomed Lake Forest, Maryknoll, and Encinitas dojos for our second annual joint practice. Darren Pike led kihon, James Uyeda guided us through movement in kiba dachi, and Kei Teramoto led kumite and kata. Afterwards, we gathered at Stone Brewery for fellowship, drinks, and plenty of laughs. This tradition is only getting stronger! A huge thank you to Kei, Jane, James, and Darren for their leadership, and to Megan, Gary, and Drew for helping bring the dojos together.
