Welcome to JKA Dunfermline Karate & Fitness
JKA Dunfermline Karate Academy first opened in August 2008 at Baldridgeburn Community Centre where it became a very established dojo with students of all ages attending regularly from age 6 to 72 years old, with a mixture of both men and woman. June 2017 Baldridgeburn Dojo changed venue to be based in its own custom built dojo and studio which is 5 minutes walk from Baldridgeburn and the heart of Dunfermline Town. The new venue allows more flexibility for training with various classes available for specific focus to all grades on their training and goals.
Our dojo is very family orientated with alot of the parents now joining in with their children. The club has a good friendly atmoshphere and any new beginners are always made very welcome by the Instructors and all our students.
JKA Dunfermline Karate Academy prides itself in the experience and knowledge of its Instructors, who travel yearly to Tokyo, Japan Headquarters to train with the JKA Masters directly and bring back those teachings (tranditional Budo Karate) to the students of the Dojo.

The JKA (Japan Karate Association) are famously known as the Keeper of Karate's Highest Tradition. We study the teachings of the JKA where karate is not a sport but an art. Karate is a martial art and system of self-defence that originated hundres of years ago in Okinawa. "Karate-do" means "the way of the empty hand".
JKA KARATE-DO is the original pedigree of the SHOTOKAN Style
