With a focus on improving confidence, discipline, self-defence, and fitness, Kenshukai Karate provides a comprehensive training experience for individuals aged 5 years and above.
The school takes pride in its traditional Japanese martial art roots, drawing inspiration from two core styles: Shotokan and Goju-Ryu. Shotokan, developed by master Gichin Funakoshi, emphasises health, breathing, energy release, and outstanding mind-body control. Its techniques involve powerful linear movements and deep, stable stances, making it a hard and external martial art.
On the other hand, Goju-Ryu combines hard striking attacks and soft circular techniques, specialising in close-quarter combat. The style places significant importance on correct breathing techniques. Founded by Yamaguchi Gogen, also known as The Cat, Goju-Ryu offers a unique approach to karate training.
Symbolising the values instilled in their students, Kenshukai Karate Harlesden boasts a club badge depicting a soaring eagle.

The eagle's sharp vision symbolises truth, while its ability to glide effortlessly in the face of challenges serves as a metaphor for personal growth and improvement.
