Harrow School Of Shotokan Karate - Iask

Great club, started at the same time as both my sons, having not done Karate for nearly 20 years the Sensei is very encouraging not only to my 2 boys but to me also. Just finished the 6 week introductory course but were not stopping there. Highly recommended.

Nick Adamou is, and has been, an outstanding Shotokan karate exponent and instructor for many years. His attention to technical detail is a huge contrast to many ‘’karate’’ clubs & instructors where focusing on more flamboyant (and unrealistic) techniques is prioritized over learning sound and effective form. The style Nick Adamou teaches is traditional Shotokan karate.

The IASK family is more than I could have asked for to help progress my karate journey over the years. I feel lucky to belong here.

This is a great club. It's friendly but has discipline. Sensei Adamou learned from the great Japanese instructors when they first came over in the early 1960s. All the senior instructors at the club are really good and follow in the same tradition. It's not messing about but it's fun and non-contact. Health and safety is paramount. Everyone is very respectful and everyone learns traditional karate. Which works!
