ABOUT KONJAKU SHIN

KONJAKU SHIN started out on it's long, successful and continuing
journey in 1978, when Dave Kershaw opened his first school at a Cleethorpes photography club, then a second at Grimsby Town Supporters club. He then went on to open schools at Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham sports centres.
Over the ensuing years, Konjaku Shin grew to be the largest school in SKIGB.

In 1993, Sensei Kershaw obtained the schools own premises in Lower Spring Street, Grimsby. A large, three floored building; the top floor of which, houses a superb 90ft by 40ft Japanese style dojo dedicated solely to Karate training, and offering classes at all levels six days a week. These range from beginner's classes, to intermediate, advanced and Instructor training classes. There are special courses throughout the year with top International Instructors.

KONJAKU SHIN literally means "Ancient and Modern Spirit". The spirit and technique of Traditional Karate-do practised in the present day. What better way to study this "Way" than with the Japanese masters and the instructors trained by them.

To date, over two hundred students have gained black belt dan grades with Konjaku Shin. All were taken with Hanshi Shiro Asano.

30th Anniversary!

From the beginning, Konjaku Shin has been, and remains, a member of SHOTOKAN KARATE INTERNATIONAL (GB), headed by Hanshi Shiro Asano 9th dan.
Hanshi Asano visits Konjaku Shin every three months to teach and grade members.
The Konjaku Shin National School of Karate is now an association in it's own right, with direct membership to F.E.K.O

It has indeed travelled a long way since 1978!
