New Orleans Shotokan Academy believes in the practice of Martial Arts for the improvement of one's life. Our practice provides a way to relieve stress, and, through it, we improve our physical strength and flexibility. We also work on fine tuning our reflexes, and on breathing and relaxation. Self-defense is the ultimate reason for practicing, for as we learn we also become better at protecting ourselves.
Finally, we build frienships along the way, and these stay with us forever. We hope you will join us and become a part of our community.

Karate is based on movements whose foundations rested in punches, strikes, kicks, and blocks. This martial art is based on a self-defense, in which the movements are passed down from generation to the next in the form of Kata. Our instructors are very well-known throughout the country for their abilities in teaching and competition.
In Aikido you will learn exercises that incorporate falls, throws, joint manipulations, and flowing movements. This martial art is based on a self-defense, in which harmony of movement with your opponent is achieved. Our Aikido instructors are certified by the Shodokan Aikido Federation based in Osaka, Japan.

Very supportive envirnment and top notch training. I dravel 5 days a week from the westbank to train here. There a plenty of schools where I live, but none compares to this one! Very worth it!

I have been a student of NOSA for 2 years now and have loved every moment of it! My husband and myself are participating in the karate classes offer. My father has been a member for almost 10 years and has also begun taking part in the Judo and Aikido classes. We have found it a wonderfully challenging yet meditative experience. I recommend it to everyone one I meet!
