Sensei Kevin Rowley [4th Dan]

CLUB CHIEF INSTRUCTOR

My first experience of Karate was, when living near Manchester in the late 1970s, I trained in Shukokai for a couple of years . On moving back to Nottingham in the early 1980s I then tried Sankukai, again for just a couple of years. Whilst both are good styles they didn’t keep my interest. In the early 1990s my youngest daughter started training at the RSKC and I asked the Chief Instructor if he thought I was too old to start again and he encouraged me to give it a go – 30 years later I am still here training twice a week. Shotokan is an excellent style with a wide variety of elements to suit all. RSKC is a welcoming family club with members both male and female aged from six plus up to mid seventies. It is a pleasure to help in training different students and see them grow and develop over the years. Karate is ideal for maintaining both physical and mental fitness.

Ma'an Alkhabaz

[2nd Dan]

I started training at RSKC in 2010 to improve my fitness and have enjoyed every training session since. Karate training has improved my mental agility and perseverance, and taught me how to cope with the stress of life and work. The instructors and students have become lifelong friends and have supported me to gain my first degree dan aged 56 and my second aged 60.I highly recommend karate training at RSKC for its great benefits and suitability for all ages and abilities.

Sean Robinson

[1st Dan]

I trained in my teens and stopped due to life circumstances / house buying etc, I always regretted it and returned to Karate several years ago.

Both my boys reached black belts, with Dillon still training.

You are never too old to start, work hard and you will get back so much more than what you put in.

Lee Peet

[2nd Dan]

I have been training in Shotokan Karate for nearly 35 years and have been a second dan black belt for 6 years. I train to keep fit and active and I enjoy teaching beginners and lower grades passing on my knowledge and experience. I still enjoy karate as much today as when I started my journey to black belt and still continue to learn.
