KSD karate Student & parent information.  

K S D Shito-Ryu Shukokai Karate Club. 

It is the Aim of K S D Karate to make training enjoyable in a safe, friendly, fun, non egotistical  environment, while keeping it real .

We train on a traditional wood floor ,but for throws and take downs we use mats for your safety

Pics of our Dojo are Below  , Scroll to the bottom of the page to see some of the training equipment we use in the Dojo .

Parents are welcome to watch should they wish ,but the club boasts a bar where parents can relax,likewise we use this facility after training to socialise with parents and our adult students. 

Thinking of restarting karate please give us a call there are many options for restarting students,it's never too late .  

K S D  Mission Statement is:-

To provide  quality Karate instruction, to all people of differing gender,race or religion, in a safe  friendly fun learning  environment.

KSD caters for all fitness levels, builds & gender , we dont just cater for the young athletic type ( although they are welcome)    

Students age  from 6-upwards are welcome, and over the years our instructors have instructed male & female students from all backgrounds and religious beliefs.

*Discipline* *Confidence* *Fitness* *Self defence* *Respect*

The above are just some of the values you will gain from training in Karate .

On completion of the beginners course you will be invited to join the main class, there is no club membership fee,but you will need a association licence at a cost of £17 which is payable annually, this is your insurance to train, a synopsis of cover of this insurance is available from your instructor.

You will be required to purchase and wear a Karate Gi (training suit) which can be  acquired through the Club on your behalf (at a cost), or at most good sports shops, these are hard wearing and should last years.

If you purchase your own,our only stipulation is it must be plain white and free from any lettering,symbols,or coloured banding on the Gi.

            Example of Karate Gi                       Above is a list of the KSD Shito-Ryu Shukokai Belt order starting at 10th kyu.
