4 Counties Karate - Karate 4 Everyone

I am Kevin Nicholls, a 3rd Dan approved instructor of the S.S.K.A. (Southern Shotokan Karate Association), part of Karate England, and I would like to welcome you to my website.

What is Shotokan Karate?

"Karate is an extremely Dynamic and devastating martial art", it's roots can be traced back over 1500 years to India. The style of Shotokan was perfected in Okinawa by Funakoshi Gichin, it is this Traditional style that the SSKA is dedicated to teaching ;to all who wish to learn, regardless of age or disability.

I have been practicing Shotokan Karate for a number of years and I really enjoy passing the skills I have learned on to others. The clubs I run are open to all age groups, whether you're 5 or 105, it doesn't matter - I believe that everyone should have the training to allow them to defend themselves if necessary and Karate is a great way to keep fit and flexible.

Shotokan Karate is one of the oldest and best types of self defence known, it requires a high degree of discipline.
