Karate-do Shoto For all actively training karateka in Karate-do Shoto organisations At the classes you will meet new people and make friends and learn self defence.

About our Association

Shotokai Karate-do will help develop calmness, confidence and focus in your life. We keep our class sizes small with a high instructor to student ratio; With experienced instructors that take the time to listen and guide each student personally, you’ll never have to worry about being lost in the crowd. Our purpose at Shotokai Karate-do (method of Karate taught ) is to teach

and lead every student, and challenge them to constantly push themselves to a higher level by consistently setting and achieving goals. We strive to teach and uphold Shotokai Karate-do in accordance with its recognised historical background along with new and updated learning/teaching methods. We require good character first – before membership is granted. We take our responsibility as Karate teachers very seriously; bad attitude, ego, and arrogance are unwelcome. We have a structured and flexible curriculum and syllabus that our certified and licensed instructors adhere to and implement Shotokai Karate-do. All Instructors are experienced Adult black belts with Disclosure Scotland certification and First Aid Qualified. Rank is earned, not given. There is no timeline given for automatic promotion. Train hard, get results. No rewards for mediocrity

Students are treated as family members, not simply customers. We believe in getting to know our students and help them be the very best in every endeavour. Our purpose at Shotokai Karate-do is to teach and lead every student, and challenge them to constantly improve. The practice adds balance and depth to our lives. Senior Karate Instructor is Stephen McGlinchey, a practitioner of Karate for over 50 years and recognised internationaly as a Shotokai Karate-do Godan in Karate.

Good afternoon

I trust everyone is enjoying this leap year day as well as the bright sunshine.

Please take note that on Saturday 2nd March that both the normal classes at Notre Dame Primary and Kelvin Hall are cancelled in favour of the Karate Grading being held Saturday 2nd March at the Kelvin Hall from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Even if you are not in for the grading you should attend the grading event as the way our Karate Association conducts gradings is by continual assessment and not just on the day
