Chief-instructor - shihan Tomasz Piotrkowicz
7 dan Gosoku-ryu karate and kobudo

Children, youth and adults are welcome to learn karate-do - a Japanese art of effective self-defense.
The Warsaw Karate Center (founded 1991) is the biggest and probably the best martial arts club in the capital of Poland. We focus on recreational activities for the whole family, who can spend their time together training in our dojo. We have many foreigners in our club from Germany, France, England, Slovakia, even from USA and Japan!
The participation in karate, kobudo or kubojitsu (mma) trainings in our club will guarantee your fitness, control over emotions, concentration, self-confidence and optimistic attitude in everyday life. Correct psycho-physical development of children and the youth, adults' keeping healthy until late age are the main assumptions of Tomasz Piotrkowicz's 7 dan methodical programme, who follows the example of the Japanese masters' teachings. He is one of the karate forerunners in Poland. Tradition and modernity permeate each other in the teachings of the contemporary karate. The usefulness of old karate forms in modern self-defence is the fundamental principle of our karate-do. That's why all kinds of people train in the club - kindergarteners, pupils, students, bodyguards, policemen, businessmen and university professors, or foreigners - employed in embassies. The club fee allows you to train every day, at different club facilities. For students it can be an interesting way of completing obligatory physical education trainings, for girls - a way to get to know effective self-defense methods.

New members should come to the training and register at instructor.
