Just before I had the opportunity to open my own fitness centre and dojo, I decided to take on another form of martial art to keep me from boredom and to improve my all-round ability. I looked into the - at the time little known - form of karate known as ENSHIN karate (karate in the inner circle) which utilises the strong sabaki method. Enshin karate was being taught by Gary Chamberlain, a former Kyokushin karate-ka. I decided to sit in and watch a session. What I witnessed was a well delivered, well balanced and disciplined class. What I'd expected good Karate to be. There was one difference I found in comparison to other styles I'd witnessed and that was that Enshin Karate used very strong pulling, sweeping, take down and gripping techniques as well as powerful kicks which added to its practicality. After witnessing the style I decided to join Gary's classes and take a study in Enshin Karate.

Shortly after joining, Gary invited me onto one of Enshin's regular seminars taught by Kancho Joko Ninomiya, a modern Karate legend. I hadn't been to a traditional Karate seminar before. Of course I have been to many RBSD seminars taught by Karate experts. The seminar was well attended and extremely well delivered. Kancho's power was obvious from the start, evident by his sheer physical presence. From my own experience I could tell he was a real combat exponent that trusted his own style and ability. A man that has worked hard to put together a serious form of Karate. We trained in Gi's as is the Karate tradition, which was fine by me as the Gi to me represents everyday modern clothing - trousers and a top!

I would recommend Kancho's Enshin seminars or Gary Chamberlain’s classes to anyone who is serious about their training whether it’s martial arts or self protection you will gain massive awareness of a fresh vibrant style of real combat orientated Karate suitable for anyone regardless of age or gender
