Self-Defense Workshop

Come to learn self-defense with UNC Shotokan Karate

Join us for free self-defense lessons! Be on the lookout for our future workshops!

UNC-CH Shotokan Karate will be offering self-defense workshops to the UNC community every year. In each workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to practice self-defense techniques with partners and watch club members’ kata performance. Our instructor Mr. Wang is a 6th degree black belt with more than 40 years of teaching experience. We teach self-defense techniques to club members periodically. You are welcome to join us if you would like to learn more and practice self-defense regularly.

  • Martial arts experience is not necessary.
  • Family members are welcome. (Children need to be at least 10 years old to participate.)
  • Register in advance.
  • Wear loose clothes to practice.
  • We will take measures to reduce risks and ensure safety. You will sign a waiver on site before practice.
