Business Info

The Kanzenki Shotokan Karate Club was formed in September 2007 by Sensei Lindsey Musing and came under the tutelage of Sensei Peter Wright (Zanshin Ryu Goju-Kai) to help get us off the ground. Our first dojo was at the Dormansland Memorial Hall and we were affiliated with the Amateur Martial Association (AMA) and then, after moving to East Grinstead, the World Association of Kickboxing Organisations (WAKO) under the direction of Sensei Flood (5th Dan) of Bradford Shotokan. In October 2013 we joined Shotokan Karate Kanazawa Ryu International Federation (SKKIF), the UK arm of Sensei Kanazawa's Tokyo-based Shotokan Karate-do International Federation (SKIF). Our club often has guest instructors to help advance our training, these have included Sensei Dorian Fretwell (7th Dan, SKI), Sensei Jason Hadley (4th Dan, JKS), Sensei Robin Dale (5th Dan, KUGB) and Sensei Peter Wright (5th Dan, AMA).

In July 2015 Sensei Lindsey stepped down from running the club, handing the reins over to Garen Ewing, and at the start of 2016 we became part of the Shotokan Karate-do Kenkyujo under Sensei Dorian Fretwell (7th Dan), a senior graduate of Sensei Shiro Asano.
