I've raised £690 to 3 instructors to study in Japan. 2 will compete. This is to raise the standards of Oxford Karate Academy. It is a 1st time for 2 of them.

Oxford Karate Academy was established in 1974, producing 98 black belts. This year 3 instructors will journey to train under our chief instructor Seiichi Fujiwara 8th Dan. The aim of the trip will be to gain knowledge to pass on to our members who range from 4 years old & into their 60s. The trip will be 6 days of intensive training in Omagari, Japan, then 2 days more in Wakayama, Japan, followed by 2 days of THE 43rd ALL JAPAN GOJUKAI CHAMPIONSHIPS. Those training will be Shihan Paul Coleman 7th Dan, also competing in veterans kata, Conor Davies just 19 years old competing in kata and kumite & testing for 2nd Dan Seiwakai & Gojukai & Natalia Coleman 3rd Dan. training. The 2 weeks schedule will be full on karate with one day off to visit a Samurai village and the only other day off spent travelling from Omagari to Wakayama. Our commitment to karate is to provide top level tuition to our members and visitors. We are passionate about what we do and any support is appreciated. We also have new classes opening and ask you to take a look on www.oxfordkarateacademy.com
Best regards and thank you for your kindness and support.
From Paul Coleman, Natalia Coleman, Conor Davies and all at Oxford Karate Academy.
