" I initially started training as most people do to learn how to defend myself. As the years went on and my training advanced, I found karate so much more than just kicks, punches and blocks. Karate became a journey of self-discovery, learning what my limits were and then excelling past them, it’s a journey I’m still on and enjoying to this day. "
"This is the journey karate has put me on, from learning to defend myself, to teaching and passing on the knowledge I have learnt and discovered over the years of training, because what is the point in having knowledge if you do not pass it on for the betterment of others."
See Classes"Through the enjoyment of teaching karate, I found I had a love for teaching and also developed skills like patience, adaptability and speaking to large groups of people or individuals. I have been able to incorporate these skills outside of karate as well by setting up and running a very successful driving school."

"I started my training at UKKGK under Shihan Gurmit’s dojo in January 1990. The discipline, invaluable knowledge and combat skills I have obtained along the way are some of the key reasons I'm still training in Shihan's dojo today. "
Contact Now"Shihan once told us a true martial artist is always striving to better themselves no matter how old they are, how long they have been studying marital arts or at what level they are. These words resonate in me as I always aim to better myself not only in my own training but by also passing on the knowledge I have learnt from Shihan to the next generation of students."
