Wantage Karate Club

Kay Savage

My love of Martial Arts began in 1971 when I joined the local Judo club in Lancashire which I trained at for many years. Some time later I began training in Budokan Karate under Sensei Mike Newton and continued until I left the area.

In 2003 my son decided he wanted to start karate so I thought I would join him! We looked at a few places in the area and eventually Wantage Shotokan Karate club was recommended to us, so we came along to see if we liked it and have been happy there ever since! It is a great club with excellent instruction and a friendly atmosphere.

I achieved my Shodan in December 2007 with the TSKA , mainly thanks to Sensei Paul Edwards and all the other instructors, training partners and club members who have helped and supported me along the way. I hope to continue learning and improving my karate and supporting members of the club on their journey.
