A Special Kata Session with Shinichi Hasegawa
We were honoured to welcome Shinichi Hasegawa as a special guest at our Chikara Karate adult class, where he shared his knowledge and experience through an inspiring Kata session.
A philosophy that perfectly captured the spirit of the session:
βKarate is not only about competition. It is about discovering the artistry, depth and enjoyment within karate-do.β
β Shinichi Hasegawa
Our students had the opportunity to refine their technique, explore the finer details of Kata and learn from one of the most accomplished figures in the discipline.
Thank you, Sensei Hasegawa, for an unforgettable session and for sharing your passion and knowledge with us.

Confidence doesn't appear overnight.
It's built every time you step onto the mat, push through a challenge, learn from a mistake, and return for the next class.
Real confidence isn't about being the loudest person in the room. It's about knowing you've done the work. Martial arts helps build that confidence through consistent practice, measurable progress, and overcoming challenges one step at a time.
No matter where you begin, every lesson brings you closer to the strongest version of yourself.
Start where you are. Keep showing up. The confidence will follow.
