Teaching the principles of technique with integrity

The SKK was established in 2011 as an antidote to big karate groups! SKK is a completely independent karate organisation. It provides fully insured instructors, membership license, promotional grading examinations, instructor & examiner development, access to Yudansha Kai and other events with high-level teachers from various organisations. Shotokan is the primary style and the 1970s JKA grading syllabus provides the core content for grading examinations.

Where we are different:

• No compulsory courses
• No compulsory competitions
• No undue interference with individual dojo management

To summarise these statements:

• Local dojo training is the foundation – this is where it all happens
• The only competition is that with yourself
• Each dojo sensei is a chief instructor and is treated that way

Dorian Fretwell is Director and Chief Examiner of the SKK. His approach to SKK operations is:

Maximum input, minimum interference.Dorian Fretwell, Director & Chief Examiner

• As a dojo chief instructor you are responsible for your students' safety and the quality and standard of their training.
• Dojo sensei are supported by the Director & Chief Examiner both personally and through attendance at the Shōtōkan karate dō kenkyūjo yudansha kai (Black Belt School). This enables the Shōtōkan karate dō kenkyūjo to consistently deliver realistic quality training and promotional examinations at a reasonable cost.
