Our Experienced

INSTRUCTORS





We have some of the most experienced instructors in traditional karate and kobudo (weapons).
Most have trained and been graded in Okinawa - the home of karate. Each year a group of seniors either travel to Okinawa for training or we host senior instructors from Okinawa.
