Marking two decades of Shotokan Karate Ryu with a
festive celebration
Celebration
On Sunday 10th December, over 130 students and guests joined together to celebrate a 20 year milestone for the Shotokan Karate Ryu
Slide Show
As is customary, each year we have a ‘Christmas Slide Show’ to commemorate the success of the club.
This year, we thought we would include it on our website.
