This website is going to be a bit of a "work in progress" it's main purpose is for Tsubokai students past and present to get back in touch with me again, I have been out of active martial arts for a while now and things are just getting back to normal. 

As we go along I will add to the content, including my theories on Karate history, chinese origins of kata and techniques hidden witin those kata, use of traditional weapons and so on, time permitting of course, you never know it may generate some interest from people outside of the Tsubokai world as well.

Background -

The Tsubokai organisation was founded in the mid 1990's by a like minded group of people who's aim was to return the martial art of Karate to it's original purpose - an effective means of self protection.

Most modern day martial arts have become little more than a sporting game of tag, a light form of exercise or worse still an afterschool activity for children, continuously watering down their content to the point where they have no practical purpose for self protection.

Tsubokai Kempo-Karate provides the martial arts student with the right information to get the most benefit from their training.

Instruction is available in the Manchester area on a one to one or small group basis by appointment. Visiting tuition in Manchester and other areas may also be arranged. Instructor training is also available.
