Welcome to the Ken Shu Dojo, a space exclusively for KSD students that has been customised for the sole purpose of teaching classes in Shito-Ryu Shukokai karate and our supplementary fitness based class Karatabata.
KSD have been training at the dojo based in Whitefield, Manchester since 2010 and it has gone through many physical changes as we constantly strive to improve the space for our students to make their karate training the best it can be in a safe and comfortable environment.
