The Club is run by Black Belt 6th Dan Mr Sehmbi. Mr Sehmbi has been training for the last 30 years under the guidance of the Chief Instructor of the association Shihan Sahota. The Ampthill Club is a well established with a wide mix of men, women and children. Our objectives are to keep a friendly yet well disciplined club that works hard and to ensure that all our students enjoy themselves whilst
training. Shotokan Karate is an excellent form of self defence. Learn to defend yourself by focusing on the three main areas of Shotokan Karate: KIHON (Basics), KUMITE (Sparing) and KATA (Forms) in a controlled and disciplined environment.As well as covering these three key areas, we focus on building fitness in lessons, whilst having fun. Besides teaching you to defend yourself, practicing Karate has much more to offer, such as:
Increased Fitness
Increased Flexibility
Improved Self Confidence and Self - Esteem
Discipline and Etiquette
Gradings are held regularly throughout the year, where students take an exam to achieve their next grade. For many young students this promotes self-confidence and a sense of achievement and motivation. Additionally, students participate in courses run by Shihan Sahota and take part in an annual TISKA National Competition, giving students the oppurtunity to demonstrate the skills they have learnt and developed through their training.
