Tanren Shotokan Karate Club Dudley

I invited Sensei Hinsley to teach a beginner's karate lesson to a group of my work colleagues. It was clear from the start that Sensei Hinsley is passionate about karate; he made the session fun, informative and practical, covering everything from basic strikes and blocks to introductory self-defence. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the buzz in the office the next day was fantastic. I would have no hesitation in working with him again.

I trained with Sensai james way back when i was 14 years old & together we were trained & dissaplined by Sensai Paul O'connor. I am proud to say i was trained along side Sensai James as he was so passionate in what he did. A respectful young man & a pleasure to say he's my friend. Thank you again Sensai james & Sensai Paul for the memories. Hopefully ill be back soon for some sparring... :)

Sensei Hinsley is one of the most likeable and dedicated karate practitioners I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and training with. Tanren Shotokan is a friendly and open place that welcomes all practitioners from the complete beginner to the advanced martial artist. Sensei Hinsley is a fantastic coach with a flexible coaching style able to adapt himself to reach individual student in his dojo. I recommend visiting this dojo to anyone interested in martial arts or anyone who is intereste...
