This is a place where you are known and cared for; you’re not a number but part of a community. The sensei is kind in his teaching. There’s no yelling or intimidation. Respect for the sport, yourself and others is taught. It’s very affordable. We’ve been there for several years and love it!

Every student is shown individual attention, and everyone helps each other out. Students helping students

I trained here for 6 years and I honestly loved every part of it! I've never experienced another club like Shuto Karate; they have such an incredible sense of community and they are extremely welcome to everyone who walks through their door. The instructors hold you to a standard that really helps to improve your skill and teach you more each week, and you are surrounded by teachers and students who are truly dedicated to Karate. It is so refreshing to see such a passion for the legacy of Karate and the usefulness of the self-defense you learn. What really attracted me about the club is how they taught not only how to improve your physical strength, but also your inner strength. They taught Karate as a way of life and I discovered many important life lessons by training there. I have met some of my very best friends at the club, and so I highly recommend Shuto Karate Club to anybody who is interested in learning self-defense in an incomparable community, no matter your age or experience.

I love everything about Shuto Karate Club. The instructors were so patient with me and encouraged hard work and leadership. It was more than just karate for me, it was part of my lifestyle. I also enjoyed the lineage and historical aspects of this club because that type of heritage is scarce these days.

I trained at this school for almost a full decade when I was younger. I enjoyed my experience wholeheartedly. Shuto Karate Club places an emphasis on the lifelong practice and application of karate. The senseis at Shuto Karate Club encourage students young and old to pursue excellence in their training, which I appreciate. The adherence to traditional Shotohan karate during my time at the dojo was a form of structure which made learning karate as a younger person much more enjoyable.
I would recommend Shuto Karate Club to anyone who wants to develop a skill and lifestyle choice that will benefit them for the rest of their life.

Our family loved the traditional environment at Shuto Karate Club. Our children had to work for their belt rank in a positive and uplifting environment, but nothing was handed to them. In an age where everyone is given a participation trophy, we valued the hard work and level of skill that was required for our children to progress to the next level. I cannot say enough about the practical self defense taught weekly at Shuto karate club! We are so thankful for our years with them when we lived in PA.

I took adult classes through Shuto karate club for many years, and my three sons participated in the children's program as well. We found that it was a family-oriented dojo that helped our boys develop character traits such as self-control and respect while also learning traditional Japanese karate. They progressed all the way to junior black belt in the program. I also benefited greatly from the practical and patient instruction of the senseis and have gone on to achieve my black belt myself.

What I enjoy most about the club is, the way traditional Shotokan Karate is honored and then the principles and techniques are applied to modern day self defense. There is also an environment of learning and questioning to improve ones knowledge base.

I enjoy the approach of honoring traditional Shotokan karate while applying it to modern self defense. The environment is one of inclusion and the fostering of questions to encourage exploration and learning.

Our daughter has been going to Shuto Karate Club of Sellersville for two and half years and we are extremely happy with her training in Shotokan Karate under Sensei Michael. We would recommend this Karate club and the instructor to everyone.

Inclusive, family friendly environment. The instructor makes students and their families feel very welcomed. He creates a very inclusive environment. Visitors/guests are always treated as if they are members.

Patience. There is only encouragement and praise for the students. Each student works at his/her pace and they feel excited to master next steps in their training without pushing them. This approach has worked very well for our son. Our instructor is very personal and knows and understands his students very well.

Communication and Professionalism. The communication is excellent. We receive continuous updates, opportunities/advancement for our child and valuable resources to learn more about karate history and present day techniques and rules. It is a very well run, professional karate club.

I have trained with Sensei Lapreziosa for 7 years. He was instrumental in getting me to the level of black belt. His technical knowledge is at the highest level. He infuses the Japanese culture into the dojo. His current focus of holistic self defense is novel and practical. The students and teachers are not just great martial artists but great people,. They and their families provide a special and supportive environment . I am very fortunate and grateful to be associated with the Shuto Karate Club.
