I have trained and was given 1st and 2nd dan black belts by the late "Sensei Kimura",
I had trained with him on numerous occassions and his legacy still inspires me and how I teach the art to my students.
The late "Sensei Kimura" was a great loss to everyone who does Kimura shukokai and its was a shame to loose him in his prime.

After nearly twenty years learning karate and fifteen of them teaching, my love for karate grows daily, there is so much I still want to learn.
My Aim is to teach good quality karate to everyone willing to learn, I also want to pass on my knowledge of competing locally and internationally to my students, some of who are already competing on the "FEKO" (Federation Of England Karate Association) squad.
Having now retired from international competitions, I now focus on my students and I get an even bigger buzz watching them winning and competing as I have done.
