Bournemouth Kanku Karate Club
Martial Arts Club in Bournemouth, Dorset
The Bournemouth Kanku Shotokan Karate club has been in existence since 1964, starting in various halls around the area, until it made Stokewood Road its permanent training base in 1967. It has hosted many week and weekend courses with Japanese Instructors, such as Kanazawa, Enoeda, Tomita, Ohta etc. The Bournemouth Kanku Shotokan Karate club, being the 1st club in Bournemouth, with a pedigree that can be traced, has through the years watched many other Shotokan clubs spring up in the area, with Instructors that have little or no knowledge and no knowledge of what they are doing.
