English
Karate Do Shotokai Israel is an organization occupied with serious investigation of the martial arts. Following Harada Sensei's approach.

Thinking of joining?
The participants of our groups are in search of the highest level achievable through martial arts. The search is not a dogmatic blind following after one leader or another. Harada Sensei encourages every participant to engage in deep research. Any person with a nice mentality and attitude is welcome to the group.


The Chair of our technical committee is Michael Ressa, who founded KDS in Israel, starting a small dojo in Mishmar Hanegev in the Early 90's. Michael now co-leads the Jerusalem group with Yehuda Bar-Shalom, leading classes every Thursday. Michael got his Yodan grade from Harada Sensei in Gibraltar.

The chairman of the Israel Karate do Shotokai association and leader of the Jerusalem group is Prof. Yehuda Bar-Shalom, (doctor. in education). Yehuda started a Shotokan group in 1996, but decided to join KDS after being impressed by Harada Sensei's approach, through a visit with the Sensei in England, followed by a course with Prof. Bernard and Gladys Mathieu in Israel, and the joint research with Michael. Bar-Shalom holds a Yodan grade given by Ohshima Sensei.

Short History - The Jerusalem group joining KDS
Yehuda has been practicing martial arts in Sensei Ohshima's organization since 1980 and along with his students has gained many benefits out of this practice. In the early 2000's Yehuda met Michael Ressa, a KDS Yodan, leading him to familiarize himself with Sensei Harada's approach. As a result, at 2006, he visited the Sensei in England during which he has invited Bernard and Gladys Mathieu to give a course in Israel. The course took place in the Reut dojo at the end of 2007.
Finally, Yehuda had to decide which of the two organizations he wants to belong to,. After considering the options, he decided, together with his students, to fully engage in Sensei Harada's approach and his kind of research and practice. The group has nearly doubled since joining the KDS. Recently Michael Ressa has accepted to teach the Jerusalem group every Thursday.
