SHITO-RYU KARATE-DO KOFUKAN
SCOTLAND

 

We are karate clubs based in Livingston, New Cumnock and Kilmarnock. Our Chief Instructor in Scotland is Sensei Paul Reid 6th Dan.

We are affiliated to:nationally  the Scottish Karate Governing Body and Internationally to Kofukan International (who have over 20 member countries) & whose joint Chief Instructors are Shihan’s Keiji Tomiyama & Naoki Omi, 7th Dans.

All of our Coaches are registered with the Scottish Karate Governing Body and they are constantly updated with their required qualifications.

Locally our clubs are also affiliated to their respective Sports Councils.

New students and indeed returning students (of any grade) are always welcome in our dojo (training hall) where, though we can work hard, it is also a place of learning, enjoyment and harmony.

Paul has been training now for over 35 years and has been with Sensei’s Tomiyama and Omi for 28 years.

Please come along to one of our clubs, you will be made welcome and give karate a try. If you require only a general fitness and health regime then karate could be an interesting way to achieve your goals, if it’s a dedicated career with a Black Belt your target then all our clubs have a proven track record in being able to take the willing student from a beginner to ‘Black Belt’.
