We would like to invite all the interested parties to our annual Karate Summer Camp.
This year, the camp will take place in Boston, Lincolnshire. It will be a 7 day, sports and language event where karate training will be complemented by an intensive course of English language.
Boston, Lincolnshire is a historic town in East Midlands and boasts rich heritage of sea trading and colonial exploration. This is where the first Pilgrims set out from, to head for the new lands of North America and build new settlement, later known as Boston, USA (1630).
Boston’s most notable landmark is St Botolph’s Cathedral – “The Stump” (1309), said to be the largest parish church in England with one of the tallest towers in England, visible for miles around from the flat lands of Lincolnshire. The tower is approximately 83m high and has a special spectator balcony near the top section.

Great and well spent two-day seminar in Boston with one of the best Traditional Karate instructors in the world – Sensei W. Kwiecinski (8th Dan). Origins and purposes of the Traditional Karate have been illustrated by principles of Todome-Waza; Tai-no-sen and Amashi- Waza trained in variety of combinations reflected in Wankan, Gankaku and Hangetsu kata helped in transition to the DAN grading, which took place at the end of day one. The second day of the seminar was concluded with Heian-Nidan kata (for all grades). This has given us a good foundation for the TKFGB national squad training focused on the Kumite-Kihon (led by Sensei Lukasz Radwanski) and Kumite-timing exercises (led by Sensei Andrzej Czyrka).
