Our Club
Hull Zanshin Karate Club trains in a style of Karate known as Wado-
Our club is a member of Wado UK, the (Independent Wado Ryu Karate-
Our instructor is Tony Dent a student of John Moreton the president of the Wado UK and EKF board member. Tony has trained with John Moreton for 36 years as of 2010 and continues to assist in matters relating to the Wado UK group.
We are also fortunate to benefit from other Wado UK instructors, who teach and train at the club. Barry Meanwell who has competed to a high level for many years for Wado UK and Paul Braid who is a Kumite coach within the group and Instructor of the ShinKen Dojo.
Our aim is to practice and preserve, the Japanese art of Wado Ryu Karate. Our training times and venue can be found at the foot of this page, but please read on to get a feel for what we have to offer.
We regularly take part in competitions for all ages and genders. Some of these competitions are local, but most take us on our travels around the country. Our club has its own competitors, but we travel in the main with our fellow Wado UK clubs. This helps with coaching duties on the day and helps strengthen the bond between our association students.
As well as competitions, we also train at courses around the country. Some of these courses relate specifically to Karate itself and some of them relate to other activities. These activities include National coaching qualifications. Qualifications for coaching at competitions and also for officiating at competitions.
Whatever your reasons for training in Karate, we think our club, association with Wado UK and membership of the English Karate Federation will offer you what you need.
Through our membership of the Wado UK,we have the structure in place for anyone wishing to become qualified in other areas. We are able to offer qualifications for coaches at club level and also for competition coaching.
With regard to competition, we can also set people on the road to official’s qualifications. Beginning with marshaling experience through table officiating and on to judging and refereeing. These qualifications would be supported by our Wado UK association and could then be attempted at Governing body level for national competitions.
We like to think of ourselves as approachable and are always happy to answer any questions people may have. If there is anything you think we might be able to explain better in person, just pop along to the club and have a chat with us.
