Well spent and very well attended training session of our National Squad, this time held in Enfield, North London. Starting off with good warm up, the session was focused on kata training methodology followed by preparation for kumite (sparring). Almost all participants had an opportunity to take part in mini-competitions which concluded the whole session. Well done, everybody!

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.
