We are a shotokan karate based dojo, with a strong influence from Master Akio Minakami, who practices Shito Ryu karate. Karate as we now it today, has been practiced for over 50 years in the UK and for nearly 100 years in Japan. Master Gichin Funakoshi, along with some other karate masters, brought karate to Japan in the early part of the 20th Century. The Japanese were amazed and took this martial art style from Okinawa, as their own.
Master Gichin Funakoshi, along with his son Gigo Funakoshi, developed the already present Okinawan fighting system known as Okinawa-te (Okinawa hand), into what we know today, as Shotokan Karate. Japan also played a major role in the early development of shotokan karate.
Shotokan Karate techniques focus around body allignment and the correct application of body dynamics. Some of the many physical benefits associated with shotokan karate are~
