About Shotokan JKA Academy
(Affiliated to JKAWF of Kawasoe Sensei 8th Dan)

• Remember :  No martial arts is perfect they all have their strengths as well as their weaknesses...It is upto each practitioner how well they train & develop through their martial art that will determine an outcome in a practical situation.

• Our Motto is: Train hard fight easy!!.

• Shotokan karate of the JKA  helps develop some good body movements e.g. it utilizes both the left & right sides of the body & upper and the lower body to produce mostly powerful, fast punches, kicks , strikes, blocks and throws. It also develops a balanced & even development of the body & mind through its practice of basics,forms, and sparring drills in practice. ( Kihon, Kata & Kumite )

• Practitioners employ powerfully delivered, direct punches & strikes, using the hips, designed to quickly stop an attacker or opponent in self-defence or competition situation with ONE  'killing blow'.

• Remember: Many other martial arts were derived from the Shotokan JKA system.

 Learn & master the dynamic art of original JKA shotokan karate as pioneered by the original JKA masters and as taught & simplified by Sensei Sham Aktar - 6th DAN, Ph.D (A.M)   at the Oxford Mecca of Shotokan JKA Academy.

Through this journey and experience he has been able to appreciate & understand the unique key points and  fundamental principles of the various styles and systems of karate and other martial arts, which he tries to convey to his students in his own unique way. After many years of practice, research & synthesis of all his masters' teachings, he has been able to devise his unique  & easier, simplified method of learning and progression for his students, which enables them to learn the original practical ultimate self-defence skills,& techniques, which took years to master in the past in a relatively shorter time, at the same time have optimal success in tournaments & competitions. His simplified easier method of learning has produced many successful & confident up-and-coming karateka, &  competition champions in the community for over many decades.
