Welcome to Kenmei Shotokan

Thanks for visiting! We are a small, friendly club dedicated to the study and practice of shotokan karate. We currently run informal classes for anyone over the age of 12, whether you are just beginning your martial arts journey, or are coming back after a break, or from another style. Please look around the site to find out more about us, what we do, and where and when to come and visit. There is no pressure to join in straight away, or to pay anything up front.

Shotokan karate is a traditional martial art and combines elements of self-defence, sports and fitness training, and the philosophy of its founder: 

“the ultimate goal of the art of karate is not in victory or defeat, but rather in the perfection of the character of its participants.”

Funakoshi Gichin Sensei

It’s also a great way to get fit, forget about your work, meet new people, gain confidence, and learn some new skills!

You can learn more about this style of karate on our page about shotokan. We will be adding pages to the site as we go, such as upcoming events, pictures, technical articles, and so forth. Our facebook page is here.
