The Durango Karate Club trains in the Okinawan martial art of Shotokan Karate-do. 

Since 1993, the Durango Karate Club has been spreading knowledge, appreciation, and practice of the traditional martial arts to a broad audience. The DKC achieves this by offering affordable expert training with black belt instructors, and a cooperative classroom environment open to a range of ages and skill levels. 

​

The DKC works on a "club" model, rather than a "school." In the club format, all ages and skill levels train together, working individually and as a team on techniques (Kihon), routines (Kata), and fighting strategies (Kumite). We also engage in strength and flexibility training, self-defense applications, and an exploration of the martial arts through guest instructors. Students can also prepare for and participate in regional karate tournaments.

​

Lead instructor Sensei Josh Overbey has trained in a range of martial arts and instructed with the DKC since 2015.
