Register for Karate training in Menlo Park at the Arrillaga Family Recreation Center. A short walk from Stanford Mall, Stanford University and just across the street from the Menlo Park train station. 

2025 Session September – December Menlopark.org Activity-Guide-and-registration

Now that the debut of Karate-do has passed in the Olympics, we are back with on site – in person training combined with “ZOOM“!

Access doors (for indoor training) may remain open, regardless of climate and face masks are strongly recommended if and when the MANDATORY mask requirements are lifted unless the Covid / Corona transmission rate is R0≤1. In the meanwhile we continue training in Menlo Park on Monday and Wednesday evenings which include ZOOM broadcasts. Our ZOOM account is password protected. Please see our WhatsApp account for the password or ask Sensei. Hybrid training shall continue until well…. forever because it can help anyone and everyone:

The SKSV training calendar has been updated and confirmed! To help youngsters get home for bed at a decent time and to allow experienced participants greater development we have implemented the following updates. 

  • Monday –  Stanford / Menlo Park participants at Arrillaga Recreation. 
    • 5:45 pm beginners &
    • 7 pm experienced (+ZOOM-cast).
      • Beginners may attend the 7 pm class and vice versa.
  • Wednesday –  Stanford / Menlo Park participants at Arrillaga Recreation. 
    • 5:45 pm beginners &
    • 7 pm experienced (+ZOOM-cast).
      • Beginners may attend the 7 pm class and vice versa.
  • Saturday –  Japantown San Jose 
    • 4 pm (temporarily suspended, facility has a prime purpose to community elderly).
  • Sunday –  Stanford / Menlo Park outdoor weapons training (by invitation only).
    • 5 pm (+ZOOM-cast) as a special training only session or make-up class or preperation for competition and grading.

Again, beginners may participate in the experienced class if they cannot attend their session and vice-versa. We can never have enough basic training. Supplementary (Sunday) class covers general training, advanced Kata, kobujutsu (weapons / kobudo) and training for pre-grading or pre-competition.

  • Menlo Park recreation, at 700 Alma St, Menlo Park, CA.
    • Please register at Menlo Park recreation, online or in person at their offices.
      • Face masks are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for indoor training & both exit doors may remain open for ventilation.
      • Hybrid (ZOOM) access for known and approved viewers and participants only.
      • Drop-ins welcome.

To join the scheduled training video conference, click the following link:

  • “Shelter in place and remote video training.”

Structure is necessary while attending class either in the dojo or remote video training. Please refrain from distractions such as answering you phone or taking selfies. Also, stay in frame of the camera, ask others for private time to focus and participate at all times.

  • Tuition remittance for Menlo Park Recreation should be paid directly to the governing city agency at the front desk. Tuition remittance for off site sessions, Shelter in place, and/or remote video training should be sent via Paypal, Venmo or Square in a timely manner.
