Worcester Shotokan Karate Club

The first step on the mountain path. Congratulations from all the club to Deon for passing his yellow belt grading last night.

Thinking of our late chief instructor Kato Sadashige Sensei on the anniversary of his passing. Sadly missed, fondly remembered.

For our late Chief Instructor Kato Shihan, it mattered not where you trained but that you trained. For Sensei the most important thing for Shotokan karate was the basic technique and the heart with which you practice.

Worcester Shotokan Karate Club are using the current time of social distancing to continue with Sensei's ethos perfecting our Kihon (Basics).

One day we will meet again Sensei and you will see how far we have progressed.
