Shotokan has spread to become the most widely practised style of Karate throughout the world
Its structured training system creates self-discipline and improves behaviour in many aspects of peoples lives as well as developing fitness strength and suppleness
We recently attended our Regional Championships with outstanding success. Every member of the squad put 100% effort in with some amazing first time performances. The whole squad’s efforts resulted in the club being awarded the best overall club for both Kata and Kumite for the 5th Year in a row!
