Shohei-Ryu Karate Bromley

The Ryo Shin Kan Karate Club was founded by Sensei Derek (Del) Charlton and has run continually since 1988. The style's founder, Grand Master Kanbun Uechi, studied martial arts in China before returning to Okinawa and establishing the Karate style in the early 20th century. Shohei Ryu Karate is an extremely effective close range fighting style principally based on the movements of 3 animals: the Tiger, the Dragon, and the Crane.

The club's chief instructor, Sensei Del, is a very experienced martial artist with over 30 years Karate experience. Sensei Del also studied boxing and westling. In addition to being an extremely effective method of self defense, studying Shohei Ryu Karate develops confidence, character, self-esteem and physical health. The club is a member of the OKIKUKAI organisation in Okinawa Japan via the UK OKIKUKAI organisation.
