The teachers are experienced martial artists all trained in kyokushin karate.Some also have a degree of knowledge of other martials arts: Aikido, Judo, Kick Boxing, Self Defence, Taekwondo, Shotokan Karate, Gojo Ryu Karate, Ju Jitsu and Boxing.
With this knowledge and training they have become proficient in teaching childrens karate, adults karate and ladies self defence.
Standards
The karate clubs offer a strong traditional style of karate for men, women and children. We strive for increasing the quality of our teaching and the improved standard of our students.

News
More than 200 karate students and instuctors from Shunen Jutsu have joined International Karate. This will make us one of the largest kyokushin karate memberships in kent, now having many clubs in Ashford, and clubs at New Romney, Shadoxhurst, Aylesham, Cranbrook and also several kick boxing clubs too.
All of the Shunen Jutsu instructors were taught by Shihan Bernard Creton who was orginally a kyokushin fighter and instructor with the British Karate Kyokushinkai over 30 years ago.
Their move to our organisation is to offer more opportunities for all of their students and to follow the kyokushin way.
