Hyodokan Karate and Self Defence

We are a non-profit making community club

Hyodokan dojo is within the Dentokan (Sekai Dentokan Bugei Renmei)

We cover the following :
 
• Shorin Ryu karate and Goju Ryu karate (following the Miyazato line now taught by Sensei Hobbs, 10th Dan) with advice from Sensei Chan 9th Dan
• The Dentokan Goshin Jutsu common syllabus (common across Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu) supplemented by teachings from Sensei Mark Page 5th Dan
• The formal Dentokan Aikijutsu syllabus – Sensei Chris Spencer-Hicks 8th Dan will teach a formal session every fortnight
• Dentokan Kobujutsu as defined by Sensei Hobbs
• Dentokan Iaijutsu following the new syllabus – Sensei Chris Spencer-Hicks 8th Dan and Sensei Chris Barron 4th Dan will give direction here
• Kumite and Kihon. Sparring is under WKF and Sport Jujitsu rules, as well as non-contact and pre-arranged sparring techniques.

We wish to
- Give committed and dedicated martial artists an opportunity to learn a broader range of things within the Dentokan – even if their background is another martial style or art
- Pass on teachings from the senior senseis, particularly Sensei Hobbs – and keep traditional elements alive
- Train together with like minded people and learn from them
 
Anyone can come who is interested and learn whatever they want/can.
