Reading Shotokan Karate club proudly own the origins of Shotokan Karate in Reading. We have been in Reading since the 1970's.
We started under the original name of Reading Japanese Martial Arts Society but we later changed to Reading Shotokan Karate Club.
Inspired from the great 70's Kung Fu movies we started with many budding Bruce Lee's and Chuck Norris's. From these early days, many of the instructors from the Reading area were coached to a high level at Reading SKC and left to start their own successful clubs.
Our early instructors included:
John Anderson
Jeff Gibbs
Nick Adamou
Chris Adamou
Phil Reed
Visiting instructors have included:
Sensei Enoeda
Sensei Tomita
Sensei Ohta
Sensei Hazard
Sensei Graham
