Shidokan karate is the style created by Yoshiji Soeno.

“Shi” signifies Samurai (warrior), “Do” is the way, and “Kan” represents a group or organization. Therefore the name Shi-Do-Kan may be translated as “a group who lives and trains in the way of the Samurai”.

Shidokan is a modern style of karate based upon traditional disciplines. The techniques of the style have been adopted from various systems throughout the world (e.g. Shotokan and Kyokushin), however only those that are considered the most effective are taught.

Shidokan includes training in karate, kick boxing, and grappling.
