"I started Karate a few years ago, and since then I have enjoyed it and have developed a great passion for it. The competitions as well as training are great fun and I have made lots of new friends. The thing I like the most about the Kent Karate club is that it is like a second family, everyone supports each other and it keeps you fit. My goal in karate is to make the Great Britain Squad and do everyone proud, work hard and become the best; a world champion"

"I have been doing Karate since the Kingswood club started in 2005 and I enjoy both Kata and Kumite. I am a Black Belt and I hope that one day I can teach at my own Dojo, passing on what I have learnt to my own students. When I am competing I focus all of my energy into getting the techniques on target. My goal is to become a GB squad member and win European and world titles for my country"

"I have been doing karate for many years and I enjoy it a lot. I have been focusing on my Kumite and feel that I have improved in the last few months. I regularly train three times a week and enjoy competing in competitions with the rest of the squad in both kata and kumite. I hope to one day become a world champion. I hope that I can compete with the SKF Great Britain Squad in international competitions all over the world"

"I have been training in karate since 2004. I love karate and train 4 times a week, I want to train and improve for the rest of my life. I like kata because it helps my memory skills and requires discipline. I like kumite even more because it is exciting. I want to be a good student, to learn all kata and to be the best in competitions. I was very proud to receive the Senior Grade Student of the Year award in 2009"
|
"I train three times a week without fail, I enjoy my training and love competing in competitions with the rest of the squad. I love running and like to see how I progress each week. I am going to train hard and make myself and my family proud. My ultimate goal is to get to my Black Belt and one day compete Internationally for Great Britain. My proudest moment has been winning the Senior Grade student of the year award 2010"

"I started training in 2006, when I was 10 years old. I train 3 times a week. I think I am best at kumite (fighting), but I find the training really tough, I really enjoy Kata and find it easier. To keep myself fit and strong for my karate training I also do some weight training in my spare time. My goal is to achieve my Black Belt, to make my mum, dad, family and karate instructors proud"

I have returned to Karate after a 10 year break, I used to train under a different style and find Kimura Shukokai Karate is extremely practical and well balanced. Since being back Sensei Chris & Sensei Katie have really helped me to develop my Kumite & Kata skills. Karate has also given me the focus I needed to get back in to the gym. I now train at Karate 3 times a week and at the gym up to 5 times a week, I have lost 2 stone and this has made a positive impact on all aspects of my life. I am hoping to keep improvingmy skills and fitness and one day I hope to train with the GB squad. I intend to train for as long as possible with a view to introducing my kids to the club in the future.

"Karate is one of my favourite hobbies, and I enjoy it very much. In particular I love sparring and going to competitions to try and get a trophy. I have been to many competitions across the country and love to do well, I know that if I don't do well in some competitions I will come back stronger next time! I train 4 times a week without fail, and I like to help Sensei Katie at the Charing dojo, I feel that my training is making me fitter and stronger. My goal is to get my black belt, train hard and one day hopefully be good enough to compete for my country like my sister."

"My dad took me to karate many years ago and I found it testing but enjoyable. Sensei Chris and Sensei Katie run an excellent friendly club with a wonderful spirit. Yes we do work exceedingly hard but the benefits for me are that I'm far fitter now than when I was at 21! I have many goals but my masin ones are 1. To continue to get stronger and fitter 2. To always look to learn 3. To train hard and eventually get to my black belt 4. To enjoy Karate wherever it takes me"
