Oxford University Karate-Do Shotokai: Traditional karate as taught by Master Mitsusuke Harada Ian Treherne (3rd dan) is the second club instructor.
Oxford University KDS was founded in 2001 by Senior Instructor Minh Chung (5th dan – highest grade in Karate-Do Shotokai). Members include students, staff and locals. We train year round on Monday and Saturday, and also on Wednesdays during term. We are a friendly club, open to all with plenty of opportunity for individual coaching from the senior grades. We practice karate as a martial art, for personal development and self defence (no competitions).
First session of the New Year is tomorrow (Saturday 6th, 3pm in the Dojo)
Happy New Year of the Dragon to you all from Oxford University KDS. Sensei was born in the year of the Dragon, let’s look forward to an even better year and greater karate training ahead. See you soon!
A blast from the past at practise this week. Great to see you Les!
There are 4 more club practices before Xmas:

Following the theme of Irimi (get into the opponent, rather than going round the opponent avoid being hit) at the Oxford course in July, here at Summer School we carried on the theme with bokken & bo. Look forward to seeing you at the Oxford course on 30 September:
