Ipswich Shotokan Karate Club (ISKC) has been established for over 25
years, and is a not for profit organisation. All instructors are qualified
to Dan (black belt) grade, are fully insured, have CRB checks and are
registered with the Japan Karate Association England.
ISKC is part of the Japan Karate Associate England (JKAE). The head of
the JKAE is Sensei Ohta, 6th Dan, based in London. Sensei Ohta comes to
teach in Ipswich on a regular basis, and supervises gradings where students
progress through the different grades (shown by different coloured belts)
up to Dan grades (black belt). It takes about four years to achieve a
Dan (black belt) grade.

We are a friendly club and new students are welcome. At every lesson

Club members frequently travel to training courses offered by Ohta Sensei
and other senior JKAE instructors at different venues in Britain. In addition
we try to attend the annual International Training Course organised by
JKAE at the Sports Centre in Guildford, Surrey. Also many of us try to
attend the International Training Course each November held at Sawada
Sensei's dojo in Brussels, Belgium
