 Shizen Karate Do 
 
 
Shizen Karate Do is the UK representative of the Goju Karate Do Kenkyukai Sebukan Tokyo Japan.
It is concerned with teaching the transmissions of the Bubishi Tradition from Master to Disciple within this particular lineage and their unique understanding of the Martial Arts.
 
 Shizen Karate Do is headed by Steve Carter 5th Dan who has been involved in the Martial Arts for 27 years.His teacher Kiyoshi Yonemoto 9th Dan fully endorses the school and its teachings and gives permission to promote the school.
The school has an open door policy and does not discriminate against colour,creed,age or religous beliefs.
 
We also have a child protection policy.
 
The schools primary concern is  to pass on knowledge to those that wish to study the Art of Karate and not the sport and to preseve the old teachings (koryu) while embracing the new.
 

 
The most natural way to teach is to
help the student understand how to study by  just giving a hint.
Many Karate schools spend to much time mindlessly drilling their class up and down a hall shouting and screaming.This way of training does serve a purpose, by building spirit but ultimately without explanation the student will become a robot.The school helps the student develop an understanding of  Kata (forms) and how to use it in Kumite (fighting) and also to understand the philosopy of Karate Do and all its component parts.
 
 
This way of study helps the student become an individual, as the tuition is geared solely to the individuals development.No one person is the same physically or mentally.
The value of individual thought is what has created people like Einstein, Plato , Aristotle and Musashi Miyamoto to name but a few.
