The Karate Union of Great Britain, were truly Masters of the art and their past record stands witness to this.  Success however always attracts the cynic and the KUGB is no exception, but even their most ardent critic could not deny their consistency.

Since the mid-1960's they have been at the forefront of British Karate and also champions of Europe.  Their brand of kumite has been described as aggressive; their kata as inspiring. Whatever your view, it can never be denied that they always demonstrated courage, aligned with dignity, in the true spirit of Shotokan Karate.

This program pays tribute to the organization, and in particular to Sensei Andy Sherry, the main force behind the KUGB.  Key Words: Shotokan Karate, Fighting, sparring, kumite, martial arts
