Of course we think what we do is excellent, and, as it goes, so do many others!  Here are some of the things that they say...

Respect to my good friend and family .Terry.

That was Terry Howard, the Welsh Kung Fu teacher.  Here's Andy, who visited us from another Karate club:

"Coming from an association that doesn't concentrate on Bunkai and only training for 2 evenings as a visitor, I found that Keikokai karate is shotokan...and then some! You'll learn things that will make everything relevant, you'll train under some of the best keiko karate-ka. All I can say is try it, you won't be disappointed!"

Dear John, Kim, & all at Karate,

Let me start by wishing you all a very happy new year, I just wanted to let you know how much we have appreciated all your time, effort & patience while teaching our boys, over the years we have watched Lewis grow in confidence, spirit and  maturity.  We have often been told what a lovely disciplined and respectful young man he is (you can tell his mum is typing this), so when Matt decided he wanted to join we were very pleased (although we think he is perfect!!). 

We would encourage any child to attend your lessons, as we think it will help our boys grow into men that we will be proud of.

Best Wishes

Clare & Lee

...and that was Clare and Lee Potter, parents of two high kyu grades.
