was created by Kyoshi Chris Dessa. A modern style of karate partly originating from his 12 years with Ashihara Kaikan until Kancho Ashihara passed away. Our style is based upon the art of self and street defence, empowered by use of the technique of Tai Sabaki Tanren.

Our philosophy retains the traditional values and philosophies of karate. Whilst in Japan in 2007 Kyoshi Chris Dessa saw the benefits of affiliation with Kancho Sato 10th Dan SeiShin Kan Shorinji Ryu Okinawa Renmei. Taking himself and his students back to traditional karate the value of practicing katas that have not changed over the years, that teach us discipline, focus and power which is needed even with modern styles.

As a non profit Incorporated Society, all head instructors utilise their branch fees for the purposes of running and maintaining their Club. Their time and effort is given freely for the love of the Art and the benefit of their students. Instructors train with Kyoshi Dessa and travel to Japan regularly to be tested and participate in tournaments.
