It is with great sadness that we have to report that Sensei Nanbu, The founder of Sankukai Karate and Nanbudo has sadly died. Our thoughts are with his family and close friends.

As our members will not be able to train at their clubs until circumstances change for the better we would encourage you to train at home. There are videos on our website that can help you. If you require some advice on any aspect of you Sankukai training, contact your instructor, who will be happy to help. This is an opportunity to improve your kata and basic techniques over the coming weeks!

Stay safe and follow the NHS advice and government requirements.

Good afternoon everyone

May I just remind you that in line with Government advice, under no circumstances should training take place at any FEKO Association or Club premises.  Obviously the advice regarding social distancing applies and this advice can be found at:

The BSKA have received the following letter from Jim Reece, the secretary of FEKO.

Jim Reece, FEKO Hon Secretary

Good evening everyone

On 20 March 2020, the Prime Minister made it quite clear that indoor leisure and sports facilities, including gyms were to close that evening.

We interpret that to include martial arts provision and would advise all our member associations to heed that statement. We are still hearing of martial arts schools which are staying open and that can only be detrimental to containing this, extremely infectious and sometimes fatal disease.

Best wishes

Following the BSKA AGM here is the current elected committee. The website club list and Who’s Who pages will be updated in the near future.
