Sutton Coldfield Shukokai Karate was formed in 2005 by Sensei Jason Smith 4th Dan.
Jason first discovered Shukokai Karate in 1989 after watching a demonstration by then World Heavy Weight Champion Sensei George Mcnally 3rd Dan. The demonstration impressed Jason with the speed and power that was created with kicks and punches. Jason worked hard for the next few years and had great success competing at national competitions. He was rewarded with a place on the British Squad for the 1992 World Championships in Portugal. Jason was then awarded his Black Belt by Sensei Kimura at the World Championships after reaching the quarter final stage in the individual kumite and being part of the mens Gold medal squad. He then went on to represent Great Britain at the next World Championships in the U.S.A, again Jason reached the quarter final stage and received a Silver medal in the mens team event.
Jason was awarded his 2nd Dan in 1995, 3rd Dan in 2001 and received the rank of 4th Dan in 2006. He has many years experience in developing students to reach their full potential.
Jason is a full time professional Karate instructor who currentley is a Level 3 Personal Trainer and Advanced Fitness Instructor. Registered with R.E.P's.

It's great to see so many new faces in the club and commendable to see the progress some of the longer standing members have made. The K.S.K.A will be holding 2 courses this year; the first is 21st March and then 3rd October.This will give you the opportunity to train with the senior instructors from K.S.K.A. You will be taught basics, Kata and kumite in the 2 hours of training. Please look at the website for photos from previous courses.
Congratulations to Olly Trimble (again) who was student of the month, keep up your hard work so you can be considered for student of the month next time. Remember we are looking for the student who consistently demonstrates a positive attitude towards their training, who shows good effort and listens carefully: We are looking for overall improvement, concentration and effort giving each one of you a fair chance to be selected.
