About Shitoryu Karate Academy

SKA was formed in December 2007 and is affiliated to Hanko-Ryu Karate Association. The chief instructor of Hanko Ryu, Sensei Nariman Jeddi, 6th dan is a former British Kata Champion and a current World Kata Judge. SKA’s chief instructor, Clare Bonello, has 15yrs experience of karate and ran many different classes for another instructor before setting up on her own. Her main club is now in Basingstoke and some of those students have trained under Clare for 2 years. In 2007 the squad from Basingstoke won many titles and they now hope to perform equally well under Shitoryu Karate Academy and Hanko-Ryu. The squad are all low grades but have made a very promising start. Sensei Clare, the other instructors and the squad have high ambitions and not much will get in their way! Shitoryu Karate Academy instructors care very much about each individual student's progression whatever their dream may be.
