There are many reasons that people join us, some want to learn to fight, others want to get a good workout or learn our katas and how to use weapons. Whatever your reason, there is a path for you here to pursue that. Karate is a way of life, it only begins, and never ends.

At Kanreikai Karate of Connecticut we follow the teachings of grand masters Mas Oyama, Shigeru Oyama and Manny Matias. These teachings are essential part of the World Kanreikai Karate Organization.

Sensei Chris Goncalves and the team at Kanreikai Karate of Connecticut is leading the path to always help our students accomplish their personal goals. The team’s focus is to continuously promote our traditional Japanese karate style, the health, and mental benefits. We are here to guide students to reach beyond what they thought their limits were.

We invite you to stop by our dojo to learn more about us and learn what makes us different.  Understand our code of conduct, the Japanese terminology we use at the dojo, how we promote our students using our ranking system (tips and belts). Learn more about our Grand Master, Chief Instructor, and Instructors, and have a tour of our dojo.
