The Southern Shotokan Karate Association (SSKA) was established in 1987 by Sensei Stuart Cole (6th Dan). As its name implies, the SSKA is concerned with teaching the Shotokan style of Karate. There are currently in excess of 85 SSKA Clubs in the UK, mostly in Southern England.In addition to weekly club meetings, the SSKA runs a full programme of events throughout the year.
- There are lessons at which students, who would not otherwise get the opportunity, are able to train with Sensei Cole.
- There are grading sessions where students who can show Sensei Cole that they are ready for the next grade, will be awarded a certificate and the right to wear the next colour/grade belt.
- There are separate training and grading events for senior grades and instructors.
- There are special training events where students will learn specific aspects of self defence e.g. how to defend against knife attacks.
- There is an annual Summer & Winter Camps at which families can train in a holiday environment.
