THE Kenkyu Kai Karate Jutsu Club is looking for new members to join the club.

The club trains at GFG Plastic Fabrications Ltd, Bridge Works, 101 West Dock Street, Hull, on Sunday nights at 7pm till 8.30pm.

It also recently held a seminar.

Kenkyu Kai Karate is a self defence systems which has taken karate back to its original roots of self-protection.

Sensei Mike Sanderson said: "The karate taught by our club focuses on basic simple karate techniques. 

"Karate was never meant to be used as a sport or to be used against a fellow karate practitioner. Karate deals with everyday confrontations that plague society. Whether hundreds of years ago or in modern times defending oneself has always been a necessity of life. 

"The level of violence might have changed in modern times, but karate and other martial arts were developed to deal with differing levels of attack. Therefore modern self-protection is based on old methods of defending oneself."

The club also recently held a seminar teaching the system at The Twin Tigers Martial Arts Centre, Warren Road, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire on Saturday April 24th.

The Karate Kenkyu Kai teaches a range of karate techniques that include, for the serious student who wants to take a grading and become an instructor, modern kata so the student gets a fully rounded understanding of how Karate has evolved from its early origins in the far east to a modern day sport.

Partner work is the most important aspect of the training. By recreating common confrontations found in modern society in the training hall, the student learns various defences according to their ability, age, body type, male, female etc. 

These are drilled so the student develops a reflex reaction response to these attacks.

Mike added: "Pad and bag work are also emphasised to develop skills in striking, power, speed and accuracy. Through this type of training the student also develops increased all round physical fitness.

"Eventually the student will gain knowledge of the history and development of karate, related martial arts, do their own research and eventually have there own personal self defence system developed from their experiences within the Karate Kenkyu Kai.

"The Karate Kenkyu Kai are always researching every aspect of self protection to further the development of the system but prefers to simply Keep It Simple - KISS.

"All our techniqes have been developed from training with our parent group Hull Budo Kai, Vince Morris, Rick Clark , Patrick Mc Carthy, Dave Turton and from my own pesronal expieriences in the security and door superviser sectors.

"I'm always looking to improve my teaching methods and researching the history and development of Karate and related arts."
