We are a small but caring Karate School, based in two Clubs, one the Sasori Shotokan Karate Club in Chelsea (Chelsea Manor Street, London SW3-5PL) and the other in Blackfriars (34-68 Colombo Street, London, SE1-8DP)

We welcome anyone serious about learning the true meaning of Shotokan Karate. The Main Instructor (Sensei A G Sanna) is a 5th Degree Black Belt and one of the most Senior Full-Time Instructors in United Kingdom.

Our Clubs cater for all the needs of a Martial-Artist practicing the 3Ks (Kihon=Basics; Kata=Forms & Kumite=Sparring). Our students are walked step by step by a number of Sempai (Senior Students) all JKA Qualified Instructors, with a 1st; 2nd or 3rd Degree Black Belt.

The Blackfriars Dojo (Training-Hall/Club) is open to all (from the age of 14 onward) Beginners to Black Belts) The Chelsea Dojo is open to all (from the age of 8 onward) Beginners to Black Belts).

Shotokan Karate is like many other Martial Arts and sports where the practitioner needs to train quite regularly in order to achieve a good level of understanding of his Art. Therefore we expect students to attend at least two classes per week for the lower grades and a few more for those trying for a new belt or aiming to participate in Competitions.

We have a number of students which are part of the English Squad, which shows that the club is also open to those looking to improve their performance in the Competition Arena, with Competitions ranging from Local to National and extending to International Level.
