Meet the team!

Chief Instructor of O.S.S.K.A Karate, 6th Dan Peter Norris - known to everyone as Pete.
He started his Karate journey at 19, got his first black belt in 1991, and has been training and teaching ever since. He's been to the world championships as assistant coach for E.N.S.K.A in Hungary in 1994 and Las Vegas in 2004 where they came back with trophies.
He was originally under KUGB, and then spent over 30 years with E.N.S.K.A which was also an official Martial Arts Association. When that came to an end, Pete and others became part of O.S.S.K.A (Original Southern Shotokan Karate Affiliation).

Pete teaches at the Cosham Club mainly, alongside 5th Dan Ken, which operates on a Monday and Thursday 1800 - 1900.
O.S.S.K.A Cosham is known to be inclusive of everyone and can accommodate disabled teaching.
