south notts shotokan karate club
Nottinghamshire
KARATE Karate is a system of self defence and physical culture developed and
refined in Okinawa and Japan. There are several styles of karate, they all use
slightly different training methods and they all place varying degrees of
emphasis on issues such as the speed, strength and range of techniques
practised. Shotokan karate (our style) emphasises a balanced development of all
these elements, taught within a system which instils confidence and self
control. SOUTH NOTTS SHOTOKAN KARATE CLUB The club was established in Keyworth
in 1985 by the senior instructor Rob Manning who is a 6th dan black belt and
meets at South Wolds School, Keyworth. The club is affiliated to the KUGB
(Karate Union of Great Britain) which is a democratic non-profit making
organisation recognised by the official European and World governing bodies.
TRENT SHOTOKAN KARATE CLUB One of the oldest clubs in the KUGB Trent SKC was
established in 1976 and over the years has produced many black belts and enjoyed
significant success in competitions. The club meets at Rushcliffe School in West
Bridgford. The fundamental objective of both clubs is to develop the art, sport
and practice of shotokan karate in South Nottinghamshire. They offer a friendly
and welcoming environment for adults of any age, young people and children from
six.
