WELCOME TO SHŌTEN KYŌDO MARTIAL ARTS
Focused Strength

Traditional, Effective Martial Arts
At Shoten Kyodo, we practice a mix of both Goju Ryu and Shotokan - two of the original styles of karate practiced in Japan. We take an effective approach to both these styles to make them useful in real life situations and to teach you how to really defend yourself if it ever came to it.

Classes For Everyone
We teach all ages from 5 upwards, so no matter how old you are, you are always welcome at one of our classes. Even if you just want to keep fit, our classes are a good way of staying healthy as we regularly put our students' fitness to the test whilst also having a bit of fun.

Work Your Way Up The Ranks
Of course, every students' dream is to work their way up the ranks and become a black belt. Starting off at white belt, every student will slowly make their way through the belts learning new skills throughout and forever improving not just their karate, but also their discipline, self confidence etc. But don't let black belt stop you, you can go as far as you want!

Located in the crawley area, we are a small non-profit organisation teaching karate and self-defence to people of all ages and abilities. If you wish to find out more about us, or if you have any problems, please email us at shotenkyodo@gmail.com or head to our facebook page.
