Shidokan GB

Shidokan is more than traditional karate.

Training includes striking, kickboxing, grappling, conditioning and practical fighting skills designed to build well-rounded martial artists.

No two sessions feel exactly the same.

That variety keeps training challenging, interesting and rewarding.

If you want more than repetitive gym workouts, try something different.

First class is free.

Thank you for your continued support, commitment, and effort on the mat. We genuinely appreciate it.

Hard training builds strong friendships.

People train together, push each other, support each other and improve together.

That team atmosphere is a huge part of what makes Shidokan special.

Everyone remembers what it felt like to be new, which is why beginners are welcomed properly from the start.

Come down and meet the team.

A great turnout at Shidokan GB last night, with students of all grades training hard, supporting each other and continuing to develop their skills.

Our classes are about more than punches and kicks. They build fitness, confidence, discipline and resilience in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Whether you’re completely new to martial arts or looking to return to training, you’ll find a place on the dojo floor.

Well done to everyone who trained last night. It was great to see the commitment, effort and positive attitude from all involved.

Bonjour, mes chers amis, sportifs et karatékas,

Nous avons aujourd’hui l’honneur et le plaisir de mettre à l’honneur notre jeune samouraï, Éric Thévenet.

Récemment, Éric a participé à un championnat de Kyokushinkai en Angleterre, où il a brillamment remporté la première place. Cette performance est d’autant plus remarquable qu’il a dû concourir dans une catégorie supérieure à la sienne. En effet, faute d’adversaires dans sa catégorie de poids, il a choisi de relever le défi d’affronter des combattants plus lourds que lui, avec près de 10 kg d’écart.

Cette victoire n’est pas le fruit du hasard. Éric travaille sans relâche, avec sérieux, discipline et détermination. Il incarne parfaitement les valeurs du karaté, l’esprit du samouraï et cette volonté permanente de se dépasser. Atteindre la première place est une chose difficile ; s’y maintenir et continuer à progresser exige un engagement total. Éric met tout en œuvre pour être à la hauteur de ses ambitions et des objectifs qu’il s’est fixés.

Cette réussite lui ouvre aujourd’hui les portes d’un nouveau défi exceptionnel : un championnat international au Japon, qui se déroulera le 1er novembre 2026. Pour la première fois, il fera partie de l’équipe qui représentera notre discipline lors de cet événement prestigieux.

Nous sommes tous extrêmement fiers de lui. Nous soutenons notre champion, un champion déjà dans l’esprit, dans le cœur et dans son attitude quotidienne. Toute la famille Shidokan, ainsi que tous les pratiquants qui respectent les valeurs des arts martiaux, sont derrière lui et l’encouragent dans cette magnifique aventure.

Éric, continue d’avancer avec la même passion, la même humilité et la même détermination. Nous croyons en toi et nous serons à tes côtés à chaque étape de ce parcours.

Osu ! 👊🥋

Good technique beats wild power every time.

This week’s training focused on timing, movement and clean combinations under pressure. Small details make a huge difference over time.

The goal is not perfection overnight. The goal is steady improvement every week you train.

That is how confidence is built.

Come and experience authentic Shidokan training for yourself.

First class is free.

A great session today at the Dojo.

Shidoboxing, knockdown, throws and grappling. Everyone pushed themselves with grit and determination.

Congratulations to Toyomu and Nabil for double grading to 9th Kyu and Will progressing to 7th Kyu. Thank you to everyone that helped put them through the mill. It’s not supposed to be easy and they all dug deep and showed tremendous spirit.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped create such a positive training atmosphere. Sessions like these are a great reminder of what makes the Shidokan community so strong.

Osu.
