We are part of UK SHOTOKAIDO, an independent group who enjoy the practice of Karate-do and believe that through fostering positive relationships with other like-minded practitioners that we can continue to enhance and develop our practice of Karate-do.

Karate-do is a means of exploring the essence of being a human being; we must not degrade it to a mere fighting system. The true practice of Karate-do should be about both the physical and spiritual aspects of who we are and provide a way for us to understand the relationship between ourselves and others. Shigeru Egami (The Heart of Karate-do)
