Last Saturday there was a tournament held by the Stratford kyokushin Karate for novice students in Stratford and Nicholas Gilmer showed an interest in competing in this event. Nicholas trains in both Kenashido and shushikai karate. We made it possible for him to attend. Thanks to Sensei Jake Brand, Taranaki Kempo Chi Gung for all the fight training with Nicholas. Thank you to Sensei Mathew Gilmer from both shushikai and Kenashido Karate for your coaching Nicholas. He had a great time with an awesome exchange and making new friends. Nicholas came 2nd and we are all very proud of his effort. Respect

Awesome, our newest graded collection of amazing students. Dark yellow, light green and dark green all from their grading last Thursday night. So incredibly proud of each and every one of them. Respect 🙏

I am a karate master/teacher and I take it seriously. No one gets a free pass. If you are at my standard for your grading then you will progress, if not then you will not. Work hard, train hard is the only way, the karate way. Respect 🙏

I have dedicated over 55 years to the martial arts. I have no regrets and I have impacted so many lives over the many years both in and out of training. I love teaching and watching people grow. I love the fact that our style is the only one in the world and not an extension of a huge federation. That to me that makes it unique. My goal is and always was to make my students better than I ever was, that is the final stage. Respect 🙏
