Welcome to the website of the Harlow, Essex KDS group. Karate-Do Shotokai (KDS) is a traditional karate style which focuses purely on the practice of karate as a martial art.
We run a friendly, social club where questions are encouraged and everyone is allowed to get the very best out of themselves – all in the spirit of developing quality karate practitioners. If you want to find out more then come along to one of our regular weekly practices. Our sessions are open to men and women of all ages and abilities.
Our instructors are all highly experienced and qualified and we run a small club to ensure every student gets direct, personal practice with us each and every lesson. Our senior instructor, 4th Dan Adrian Quick has taught Karate in Harlow since 1989.
The first lesson is free and no previous experience is required. All you need to practise is a t-shirt and tracksuit trousers! All are welcome!
The KDS is pleased to invite all Black and Brown belts to this year’s Spring School to be held at the University of Hertfordshire under the guidance of Harada Sensei and the 5th Dan Technical Group.
The full course details can be found, as usual, within the KDS course calendar:

We didn't just make this stuff you know! Our instructors train
personally and regularly with Harada Sensei, the principle of our
group. Harada Sensei began his training in Japan, learning from the
originators of the style, Funakoshi and Egami sensei whom he trained
with on an extensive basis.
