Kenshukai Karate, located in Northolt, London, is a martial arts school offering karate classes for both children and adults. With a focus on building confidence, discipline, self-defence skills, and overall fitness, Kenshukai Karate provides a comprehensive training programme that caters to individuals of all ages and abilities.
The school follows the traditional Japanese martial art of karate, combining elements from two core styles, Shotokan and Goju-Ryu. Shotokan karate, developed by master Gichin Funakoshi, emphasises health, breath control, energy release, and mind-body connexion. The techniques in Shotokan karate are characterised by powerful linear movements and deep, long stances that enhance stability and leg strength.
In contrast, Goju-Ryu karate focuses on both hard striking attacks, such as kicks and punches, and softer circular techniques for blocking and controlling opponents. Goju-Ryu specialises in in-fighting or close-quarter combat, with an emphasis on proper breathing techniques.
The club badge of Kenshukai Karate features a soaring eagle, symbolising strength, courage, grace, and freedom. The eagle's sharp eyes represent clear vision and seeing the full perspective, while its ability to fly into storms metaphorically represents the resilience and determination to rise above challenges. The eagle's association with victory over dark forces aligns with Kenshukai Karate's mission of empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve success.
As a “Family Club,” Kenshukai Karate welcomes the whole family to train together. The training environment is primarily non-contact to minimise the risk of injuries. The instructors, known for their friendliness and expertise, prioritise individual progress and adapt the training sessions to suit each student's age, physical abilities, and mental capacity.
Kenshukai Karate is affiliated with the NAKMAS (National Association of Karate and Martial Art Schools) National Governing Body, ensuring adherence to child protection guidelines and ethical standards.
