The history page shows how our KOFUKAN association evolved and we are, of course, very proud of our heritage.

We train with a balanced approach to all aspects of Karate, including competition, which means we can offer a very complete martial art which can benefit all practicioners both physically and mentally. Karate is unique in that people of different ages and abilities can all practice together. While Karate is a dynamic and physical activity our training can be tailored to suit the individual.

Many believe that Karate is only comprised of kicks and punches but in reality Karate has many throws, takedowns, strikes, locks and immobilisations and when studied correctly offers a very comprehensive system. We believe the three "Ks" of Karate are very important Kihon (Basics) - Kata (Forms) - Kumite (Sparring) and as our history page shows our style developed through the practice of different systems which means that by joining SHITO RYU KOFUKAN, either as an individual or a group, you will have access to the best proven Karate principles.
