Seishin SKC

Seishin Shotokan Karate Clubs, twinned with Ichiban Shotokan Karate Club (Crawley; www.ichibanskc.org), offer traditional training based on the principles of the "Dojo Kun":

Seek perfection of character
Be faithful and sincere
Cultivate the spirit of effort and perseverance
Be respectful and courteous
Refrain from impetuous and violent behavior.

In other words, it means that we strive, through regular training, to improve ourselves and learn respect for others. This, in turn, can then be applied to all other areas of life. The "Dojo Kun" is applied in both dojos, so no matter which one you attend; the basic principles are the same. Classes vary in both pace and content, so no matter your age or ability, you should find something that works for you.

Affiliated to the Karate Union Great Britain (KUGB), Seishin Shotokan Karate Clubs teach a mix of traditional Shotokan karate and self-defence. We are a non-for-profit club that pride ourselves on our fun, yet disciplined, approach to training whilst maintaining our exceptional standards.
