Welcome to the Kenshin Kazoku Kai Karate Club WebsiteKazoku broadly translates to family, the
club and association fosters friendship
and considers all members to be part of
one big family. Everyone is welcome to
join us and learn the traditional martial
art of karate. Karate encompasses a number of styles and much of what we do is based on the traditional styles of Wado Ryu and Shito Ryu. The training sessions are mixed and varied and an emphasis is also placed on attaining a reasonable level of fitness. Training sessions are held twice a week with Tuesday evenings split into a junior and adult class. The Thursday evening classes is more of a mixed class including both junior and adult students.
2009 saw over 40 students and family
travel to Okinawa, Japan to train with
some of the Okinawan masters. This
coincided with the 25th anniversary of
the Kazoku Kai International. |
