It teaches you real karate

2nd time back in the dojo after nearly 3 months. They arent playing around here. Every inch is cleaned before and after class. Social distancing is practiced relentlessly. Shotokan Karate-do Academy is to be highly commended for their concerted efforts to keep the dojo going throughout the pandemic. SKA forever baby!!

Shotokan karate-do academy is one of the most prestigious karate schools Ive come across. I would highly recommend for parents to enroll there children here. If you are looking to teach your kids about discipline, internal growth, and values but also having a great fun time then look no further! Also, classes are available for adults definitely joining myself!

Amazing place I take my family here to practice with sensei Cruz. The level of professionalism is impressive they are so educated and knowledgeable in the skills they teach the children. The staff is very sweet and helpful. I highly recommend this place and the best part this people have already became like family just by the way they have helped us since we became members. I am a forever customer. Thank you for the work that you guys do.

Its a stupendous school for our children to learn self-protection, to be disciplined, respectful, helpful to the others and increase their self-esteem. The Senseis professionalism and his love for this martial art is simply admirable. He shows a vast experience teaching not only kids and teenagers; but also adults. Ive signed up my 8 years old son and I started taking classes too. I am nothing but pleased with this awesome karate school and I highly recommend it.

I have known Sensei Juan Cruz for approximately 15 years. He is passionate and enthusiastic about traditional Shotokan karate and this reflects in his training and his desire to train others. I would recommend anyone interested in traditional Shotokan karate to pay him a visit. It may be the start of an insightful journey.

Sensei Juan Cruz is a was my partner 10 training karate 10 years ago. Hes a very good individual & wonderful person. He has a great knowledge in Shotokan karate. I strongly recommend he to anyone who wants to learn good karate

This is an awesome dojo with great Senseis who care about your personal development. This dojo is one big happy family and I’m so happy I found it. The level of Karate I’m learning here is not easy to find. In less than a year, I have learned so much. Thank you Sensei Juan Cruz and the rest of the dojo family for your warm welcome. Looking forward to continued personal development and being a part of this great dojo family.

One of the best teachers I encountered so far in my life, very passionate about what he does and leaves you wanting to learn more.

Sensei Juan and his wife Anna are amazing! I highly recommend Shotokan. They have helped show my 5yr old son discipline, strength, agility, patience, team work, confidence and much more! My 3yr old son cannot wait till he can also be a ninja in training like his big brother :) Thank your Sensei Juan and Anna for all you do!! Sincerely the McCabes!

I am learning a lot! Thank you shensei Juan and Anita😊

I highly recommend Shotokan Karate-Do Academy, I had the honor to teach the Referee Course there, were I met Juan Cruz Sensei and other black belt as well, I have watched Juan Sensei conduct his class and I could say that he is about the only Sensei I recommend in the Del Rey beach are the other Shotokan I recommend he is in Davie Florida Paul Danos Sensei this two are about the most honest instructor I have met in the South Florida area, Juan Sensei is not just a Sensei but and Educator, your children will learn real karate from him. Willie Valdes Sensei Okinawan Goju-Ryu, Clermont, Florida.

Excellent Traditional Shotokan Dojo with a very competent, enthusiastic and passionate instructor in Sensei Cruz. I moved from the UK recently and found that Sensei Cruz, and the Dojo as a whole, were extremely welcoming and very inclusive. I would recommend this dojo to anyone who is interesting in pursuing Karate in the right way, with traditional values and a dynamic curriculum to suit all needs.

My son never likes to practice any sport, or activity except watching Netflix or YouTube. Although ever since he started practicing Karate with Sensei Juan I can easily notice that he has become passionated about this discipline. The reason is that his Sensei Juan is SUCH A PASSIONATED professor that he put ups even with the most distracted and undisciplined child. He is so thoughtful, dedicated, patience, and most of all energetic person! His passion about teaching Karate drives every kid into a new to learning experience. I wish there were more teachers like him out there!

In my over 10 years of training Sensei Juan is one of the first instructors that I had, and is by far one of the best!

My daughter started learning, shotakan karate when she was six. Her dojo was in Europe, so when we decided to move here, I thought she would find it difficult joining a new club. But far from it, she seems too be striving in this club. Cant say enough about them, your more than welcomed in this club. Friendly, professional and welcoming. I would highly recommend any one looking too learn shotakan, or know of someone? Visit this dojo, you will not be disappointed. A+

Only complete love and respect for this dojo. Sensei juan is one of the best teachers i have encountered in 9+years of practicing martial arts.

Sensei Cruz is very knowledgeable of the old school Shotokan tradition and very good with kids.

It is a good place to practice real shotokan

The best Shotokan Karate in West Palm Beach!!!
