Agency info
Feminist Karate Union
Instructs in traditional Shito-Ryu Karate. This includes self-defense information and techniques. Instructors work with students at the individual's level within a mixed level class. Some classes have ASL interpreters. FKU was founded 50 years ago as a women-only organization, and it remains the case that all senior instructors are women. Our focus is on those who are victimized disproportionately (including women, children, and those discriminated against for reasons of gender or gender identity) and their allies.
