Shobu-Kai is a traditional Japanese form of karate designed by Sensei Sadaharu Fujimoto, 8th Dan Shobu-Kai, 6th Dan Kando and 5th Dan Judo. The meaning of Shobu Kai is translated as:

The members of International Karatedo Shobu-Kai strive for continual development, constantly learning to become superior and focused karateka. The art of karate develops through the increased experience of karate students. Shobu-Kai is constantly developing into a superior and applicable martial art. Our senior instructor is Sensei Dale and he is supported by instructors David, James, Thomas and Kevin with several other black belts and senior students pitching in.

As a kid in the 80’s, Richard Norton was one of those martial artists you waited to see in an action movie, and was so excited to see the Video available at the local store. Many rewinds and slow motion replays to try to emulate his moves. Rest In Peace. Now up there training with our other fallen hero’s.

The Black Belt Magazine family, along with martial artists around the world, is deeply saddened by the passing of Richard Norton.

From his early days as a stuntman to becoming a global martial arts movie icon, Richard's journey was nothing short of legendary. He will forever be remembered for his sharp sense of humor, humble spirit, and unwavering dedication—as a martial artist, teacher, and devoted husband.

Rest in power, Richard Norton. Your legacy lives on in every kick, punch, and lesson you left behind.

It’s Black Belt embroidery time! For those who have confirmed their Shodan and don’t yet have their embroidery done, please let the Sensei know so we can put in an order. This will include a new belt so we will also need to know what size you need. As a guide, the cost will be around $50.

We are back! See you on Wednesday and Saturday training for the new school term.
