Shotokan karate is one of the most popular of modern styles. It is the most powerful and dynamic of the Japanese systems, and is generally considered to be the most comprehensive, both in the range of its techniques and the number and diversity of its kata. But to understand the basis of shotokan, and to see the rich pedigree of karate, you'll need to look to its origins.
Earlier this year we saw the passing of Dave Sensei. A local man he was respected and well liked. In the Dojo he trained and taught and was a very loyal Student and Instructor. He took his Shodan and Nidan Grade with us and is now training and Teaching in that great Dojo in the sky. We remember him with great fondness, we were blessed and privileged.
In Ivybridge Palladium Building Supplies are our sponsor for Squad and Dojo opportunities. We are very grateful for the further opportunities available through the sponsorship funding. Palladium have been a great support to the Karate organisation and we hope to continue with what is a very healthy relationship.
