"Hi, I'm Sensei Karl and I have been teaching karate since 2005. From a very young age I have always had an interest in martial arts, growing up I watched many different martial art stars which is what initially sparked my interest. I first started training when I was 15 years old, and then went on to train in various martial arts throughout my early life. After many years of teaching, I decided I wanted to give more to my students which is when I set up Goshin Karate UK. I developed a syllabus which takes influences from many different styles of martial arts, and focused more on the traditional, self-defence side of karate, rather than the sports element of many styles."
