A word from Sensei Katie

“Struggle is what breeds success, give up and you will never know. Possible is always reachable with a strong and hungry mindset”.


Karate for me is a life long commitment. I have dedicated nearly all of my life to the art of Karate. I enjoy competition and have had great success over the years, however, my favorite part is teaching, teaching students of all ages to be better than they were before, to see them progress and enjoy themselves along the way is what counts. 


Karate teaches discipline, respect, ethos, good attitude, determination, and dedication. I feel that over the years I have been able to pass these traits onto my students, along with loyalty and pride in what they do.  At the SKA we are hardworking and  this is plain to see in the quality of our students produced year after year. 


My passion is clear to see, I live for my students and encourage them to fulfill their potential.  Through the love of the Martial Art, I along with my father, are carving out a new and exciting World of Shukokai Karate. 


We hope that you will join us on our journey...
