Oswestry Karate Kodokai

Kōdōkai means the Organisation/Group for the Study of the Way. Kō meaning study, Dō meaning way, and Kai meaning Organisation. Although a new club, the instructor once belonged to the former Wadō-ryū, and later Shōrin-ryū, club that ran for twenty years at the Leisure centre until 2015. Thus, the Kōdōkai is a continuation of that club in spirit.

As a club, we offer instruction in Shōrin-ryū Karate and Ryukyu Kobujutsu (weaponry). However, we consider ourselves a Free-Style club in that all are free to join us. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced karateka you are welcome to join us for training. Ultimately, we believe there are only two types of Karate: Good and Bad.
