JKS Bradford Karate Club

Members of JKS Bradford Karate Dojo were treated to some phenomenally good karate with Arimoto Sensei. It's always a joy and a privilege to train with such stupendous talent.

An excellent, though strenuous, three hours of training with Kanayana Sensei! How he makes the nigh-on-impossible look so easy is beyond me. Another great offering from JKS England; commiserations to those who missed it - it was great.

Congratulations to everyone who graded afterwards or who took any other exam. When nine top Dan grades are scrutinising you the pressure is well and truly on. Nevertheless, I'm very pleased, and dare I say proud, to have attained my D licence qualifications in both instructing and examining. Onwards and upwards. Osu!

JKS England excelled itself, hosting a special course with the supremely talented Makita Sensei. Lots of dynamic movement exercises and a masterclass in Kakuyoku Shodan, Kashu, and Bassai Dai. Definitely worth getting out of bed for! Osu.

Students at JKS Bradford enjoyed another excellent training session with the boss Kagawa Shihan, packed with valuable insights. Engaging, inspiring, motivating, all round superb! Thanks to JKS England for organising it. Osu.

Eight years after his untimely passing, Paul Massheder Sensei's spirit lived on as JKS Bradford engaged in some special training in his memory. Never forgotten. Osu!

The weather outside is frightful but karate was still delightful as we dusted off the old Zoom drills from lockdown days. Well done to all who joined in - a fairly decent workout and certainly better than not being able to train at all. Ganbatte!

On behalf of JKS Bradford, here's wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year! Looking forward to a fresh new start, with training resuming this Saturday. Osu! 🥋

Fantastic training today with the awesome Watanabe Sensei! Thanks JKS England for another great course!

Nice little piece from our local paper..

Award-winning karate star giving back to the community after horror injury DOUBLE Commonwealth karate medallist and winner of the Bradford Sports Awards, Katelyn Entwistle, is returning to grassroots coaching.

Congratulations Alayna on successfully grading to 8th Kyu! We are all very proud of you! Osu

What better way to spend a Sunday than to train for three hours with Takashi Yamaguchi Sensei. A sell-out course and for very good reason. Osu!
