Shukokai Karate Federation Shaw

🥋 YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE

Every black belt started with a first step.

Every champion started as a beginner.

Every experienced instructor was once a student.

And every karate journey starts somewhere.

For us, that place is Shaw.

But when you join Shaw Shukokai Karate Club, you become part of a much bigger journey — the Shukokai Karate Federation and the worldwide Kimura Shukokai International family.

A tradition passed down from Soke Shigeru Kimura.

A legacy carried forward by Shihan Eddie Daniels.

A family of instructors and students continuing to learn, teach and develop Kimura Shukokai around the world.

Whether you're 5, 55 or 95...

Whether you want fitness, confidence, traditional martial arts, competition or simply somewhere to belong...

There is a place for you at Shaw.

🥋 COME TRAIN WITH US.

🥋 A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

Shihan Eddie Daniels 9th Dan
1949 – 2020

A pioneer of British karate.

A student of Soke Shigeru Kimura.

A founder of the Shukokai Karate Federation.

A World Chief Instructor of Kimura Shukokai International.

Shihan Eddie Daniels dedicated his life to karate and to passing on the knowledge he had received from his own teacher, Soke Shigeru Kimura.

In 1980, he established the Shukokai Karate Federation in the UK.

His influence continues through the instructors, students and clubs that carry his teachings forward.

At Shaw, we are proud to be part of that history.

His journey continues through ours.

Osu. 🥋

🥋 THE LEGACY LIVES ON

Every punch. Every stance. Every movement.

Behind Kimura Shukokai Karate is a legacy that continues to influence generations of martial artists around the world.

Soke Shigeru Kimura, 10th Dan (1941–1995), developed the unique approach to karate that became known as Kimura Shukokai.

Master Kimura’s core innovations transformed Shukokai Karate into a highly scientific system based on biomechanics, maximizing kinetic energy and creating what is widely considered one of the hardest-hitting styles in martial arts history.

Some innovations over the years, impact pads, double hip, gearing, grip, higher stances, plyometric principles, the modern international gasshuku, ground force reaction, spring loading and heel drop, engaging the kinetic chain, to name some.

Following his passing, Kimura Shukokai International was established in 1995 by senior instructors who had trained directly under Master Kimura for many years.

Today, his teachings continue through dojos across the world.

At Shaw, we are proud to be part of that lineage.

Learn the art. Respect the legacy. Continue the journey.
