CASK practice Wado karate as transmitted to the late Master Masaru Shintani, 9th dan, from Wado founder Hironori Otsuka. The philosophy of the club is that we are all family in karate-do and work to harmoniously promote the principles and teachings of karate and work towards the advancement of karate together with other karate groups throughout the world. CASK members range in age but the majority are youngsters aged six to 12.
Every summer, the club looks forward to its annual beach training, a great way to combine training with the beautiful outdoors. This year’s training will take place on July 4, 2015.
