Slovak Society of Traditional Karate and Kobudo

Karate

Our organization practices traditional Okinawan Goju-ryu in the lineage of teachers Seiko Higa, Seikichi Higa and Tamaki Juei. Our instructors regularly participate in training stays on the island of Okinawa twice a year.

SSTKK regularly organizes professional seminars and training camps for all members.

Kobudo

At SSTKK we train traditional Okinawan Kobudo of the Ryuei-ryu style. The following weapons are trained within the school: kun (stick), sai, ekku (oar), kama (sickle), timbe/teppi (short spear/shield).

Kobudo training at SSTKK begins when the trainee reaches 4th kyu (green belt) in karate.

Okinawa

Okinawa Island is our second home. Our instructors have a solid base on the island.

SSTKK is a member of Goju-ryu Kokusai Karate Kobudo Renmei. The President of SSTKK is also the official representative of Goju-ryu karate and kobudo renmei for the territory of Slovakia.

Self Defence

Self-defense is an integral part of SSTKK training.

Our instructors are top-notch in Slovakia, and their services are regularly used by the armed forces of the state and local governments. SSTKK organizes at least two self-defense seminars and one multi-day training camp during each season.
