We are licensed through the Amateur Martial Association who are members of English Karate Federation the Governing Board for karate in the UK, who in turn are recognized by the Sport England.

Sussex Shotokan Karate-Do clubs practice the traditional Shotokan style as laid down by Gichin Funakoshi, we will continue to develop the style. All our clubs now have junior classes as these are our future, however all clubs train adult beginners and other Shotokan students.
