We practice Kihon, Kumite and Kata adhering to the principles of Sensei Gichin Funakoshi the founder of Shotokan karate. Started by Sensei Frank Cope (7th Dan) in 1965, Wirral Shotokan Karate has been a feature of Wirral Martial Arts for nearly 60 years. We train Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday, Friday and Sunday across multiple locations. Sensei Cope learnt his art from the world famous Sensei Enoeda
