Shotokan Karate Norwich

On Sunday 19th April, Dan sensei along with Darren, Simon, Nat, Evert, Johnathan, Liam, George and Rachael travelled across the country to Manchester for four wonderful hours of world-class tuition from Sensei Richard Amos, 8th Dan WTKO Chief Instructor.

Training with Richard Sensei is always a pleasure and the four hours flew by!

We appreciate Colin Needham’s hosting and eagerly anticipate seeing Sensei again in Japan soon. 🏯🥋👊🎌

KARATE SUPER COURSE WITH MATT PRICE 7th DAN, AIDAN TRIMBLE 8th DAN & RONNIE CHRISTOPHER 6th DAN

With over 200 people on the floor, it was a truly special event. It was wonderful to see so many different clubs and associations, all coming together for the same purpose. Even more meaningful knowing that all proceeds will be donated to charities supporting Motor Neurone Disease and Dementia.

Well done to Nat, Simon, Steve, Liam and George for supporting such a great event 💪🥋👊

A huge congratulations to Doug Jones who passed Sandan (3rd Dan) last night with WTKO Chief Instructor Sensei Richard Amos 8th Dan.

Doug was throughly tested on all aspects of karate during a gruelling 90 minute class and performed at a level worthy of any Sandan!

Everybody at Shotokan Karate Norwich is extremely proud of you Doug - We all know the effort and dedication you have put into the process over the last 18 months.

Well done 🥋🥋🥋👏💪

Is there any better way to spend your evening than a master class of kihon and kata led by WTKO Chief Instructor Sensei Richard Amos

Richard sensei focussed the entire class on the Sandan syllabus along with a detailed look at Jion. The class was completed with kumite - Perfect.

It was wonderful to see Sensei back in Norwich and equally as wonderful to see Yanti Amos sensei for the first time since Summer Camp

A great night of karate all round! 💪👊🥋

A very strong (💪🥋) Friday Night Kata Crew!
