We look forward to welcoming you to our Shotokan dojo….it could change your life for the better, forever.
3 years on….
Maya has reminded us that it is exactly 3 years today since Super Saturday 23 March 2019 when Kato Shihan taught at the Worcester Honbu Dojo and held Dan gradings, with 4 Karateka enjoying grading success.
A remarkable seminar and attendance.
Karate is a lifelong pursuit, wise words and the 9th precept of Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan……..So respect history but look forward to the bright future on the mountain path as we enjoy the present.
Osu,
Super Saturday 23 March 2019
