South Notts Shotokan Karate Club

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.
