Mortimer (4th Dan) opened Shepshed Karate club in October 2011
Our club, has a wide mix of karate-ka’s (students) of different abilities and range from beginner’s right through to Black Belts belts. The karate-ka’s range from all professional, social and cultural backgrounds, making it a great learning atmosphere, and most importantly, one that we are proud to have and be part of. Both children
and adults are increasingly attracted to Karate and the clubs have members from as young as 5 years old, to as old as 50+ years old. Many of our karate-ka’s include families who have trained and grown together right through to high grade level. In addition to our regular training sessions, our karate-ka’s also participate in association grading examinations, practical and theoretical, courses (including sai & bo weapon courses) and both national and international championships designed for all skill levels, ages and grades. With all the above in mind, we try to offer karate-ka’s all we can to keep them interested, motivated and challenged at all times. Mr Mortimer's 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 and a great way of keeping fit. If you have never tried a Martial Art before, or maybe you have but did not enjoy it then come and join us you will not be disappointed.
