Weston-super-Mare

I have been practising Shotokan Karate for over 26 years, I am currently ranked 4th Dan, Japan Karate Association.

My initial introduction to Shotokan Karate started in Plymouth, my home town. Those early years proved to stand me in good stead as the training was extremely hard, both physically and mentally.

Ohta Sensei 7th Dan JKA is the chief instructor of JKA England. He is a graduate of Takushoku University and also attended the famous instructor classes at the JKA Headquarters in Japan.

Over the years I have trained with Kase, Tsuyama, Tabata, Tanaka, Osaka, Ueki, Yahara, Asai, Abe, Kurasako, Hashiguchi, Omura, Imura, Imamura, Naka, Taniyama, Hirayama.

The club is affiliated to the Japan Karate Association England who are themselves affiliated to the Japan Karate Association World Federation.

Learning the art of Shotokan Karate takes time, dedication and patience. Those who are prepared to forge their technique through hard work alone will reap the benefits in the years to come.  There are no short cuts what so ever, just hard work!
