Some great work from the today and thanks to Sensei John Hodgson forbhis time, patience, experience and expertise.
Wa Shin Kan provides tuition in traditional karate and judo in Gateshead. We aim to be practical and traditional but with a progressive approach.
We provide a meaningful alternative to mainstream martial arts by studying progressive but traditional Budo.

Half way through the year. Lots of training and achievement. If things have not been 100% make these next 6 months work and the dojo is where this happens.
It was great seeing the effort and support in the dojo last weekend. Some of Wa Shin Kan gen 1 of 20 years plus training supporting and pushing gen 3. Our community is still growing in the way it was 30 years ago. Let's keep this up.
On a fun note: anyone recognise the kata snapshot in the pic?

Simon Oliver Sensei 7th Dan returns to our dojo in August!
Returned to Wa Shin Kan Budo Kai as the page name. This is to distinguish our dojo from exercise classes and its main focus of being a place of studying martial arts.
