The name Kenjou translates in Japanese as ‘sword like’ and also ‘strong fist/fortress’ both meanings seemed very apt when deciding on a name for our club.
Shitoryu karate is renowned in the martial art world as being a very powerful style of karate.
The club chief instructor is Sensei Glen Lynch 4th Dan who has over twenty years experience in martial arts and over 15years experience as an instructor.
