Train with the Champions was formed by a group of dedicated long-standing karateka in order to provide annual courses for all ages and abilities. Our Courses offer a variety of Classes each day in accordance with your grade and experience. Classes are divided into groups with different levels for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.

 

Our Instructors are all former KUGB National and International Competitors. They are fully qualified Instructors, passing on their vast wealth of knowledge and experience.

​

They are all former Champions.

Students come from all parts of the British Isles and every continent, which adds an International flavour.  It is a great opportunity to exchange ideas.

​

The Instructors will work with you to improve your technique and increase your knowledge of Shotokan Karate, making you fitter and more confident in your future training.

​

There are special classes on each course for those who will shortly be taking Dan Gradings.  The feedback is that these extra classes prove highly beneficial in physically and mentally preparing Karateka to grade from 1st to 6th Dan.  

 

There is also an opportunity to find out more about the KUGB's Instructor qualification from Young Leader, right through to Assessor.

"I think the Train With The Champions courses have been the jewels in the KUGB's crown.

 

I have attended most of the courses since they started in 1981 and because of the great depth and breadth of the instruction I enjoy them now just as much as I did then!"

"I have been a few times to the Torbay´s Karate Spring Course with my daughter Alicia, and I have very fond memories of them.

Last time we were there, Alicia passed her 1st Dan grade, we were not sure at the beginning of the week of her possibilities, but by the end of it she was very well-prepared, she worked hard, and the course gave her the final push of confidence she needed.

​

It was a wonderful experience, and one that I will never forget."

"I've been bringing my family to Torbay for many years.  For us it is about the experience and expertise that you can tap into.  We see the week as a Karate/holiday mix.

 

The training environment is both disciplined and friendly at the same time.  The Instructors challenge, instruct and develop you and the benefits, both physically and mentally ,are fantastic. 

 

There's plenty to do  and see in the area as well as on the course and I can't wait for the next one."

 

​

​

There are two courses per year, one held in Torbay, Devon at Easter and one in Lancaster, Lancashire in August.

​

Each course offers excellent training, as well as its own unique benefits based on location as well as extra activities outside of the core classes.
