About this gym
San Diego Peninsula Shotokan Karate is one of two SKA dojos in San Diego County, carrying on the teaching and preservation of traditional karate. Founded in 1991 by Lisa McQuade — the first SKA dojo founded by a woman — the dojo is now led by Yodan Erik Malone, a 4th-degree black belt. As a member dojo of Shotokan Karate of America (SKA), founded by Tsutomu Ohshima, a direct student of Master Gichin Funakoshi, the dojo maintains SKA's traditional three-belt system (white, brown, black) and non-commercial, nonprofit approach to teaching. The dojo trains indoors at the Dorothea Laub Dance Place in Liberty Station and outdoors at Pioneer Park in Mission Hills, taking advantage of San Diego's year-round climate. Members regularly train with other SKA dojos around Southern California and perform demonstrations at cultural festivals such as the San Diego Japanese Friendship Garden.
