Kanshin Karate

Kanshin Karate is a small and friendly shotokan karate club located in Guildford, New Zealand. The club is led by chief instructor Sensei Rangan Ravindran, 5th dan, who has extensive experience in karate and is dedicated to teaching and sharing his knowledge with students of all levels.

The club is based at the Guildford Spectrum and offers regular lessons several times a week. Whether you are experienced in karate, just starting out, or coming from a different style, Kanshin Karate warmly welcomes new members. Visitors are also encouraged to come along and watch a class before deciding to join.

Shotokan karate, the style taught at Kanshin Karate, is a traditional martial art that incorporates elements of self-defence, sports, and fitness training. However, it goes beyond physical activity and also emphasises the philosophical aspect of the art. The founder of shotokan karate believed that the ultimate goal of the art is not to achieve victory or defeat, but rather to strive toward the perfection of the character of its participants.

Kanshin Karate aims to provide a supportive and inclusive environment for all students, fostering personal growth, self-discipline, and a positive mindset. The experienced instructors focus on individual progress and ensure that each student is given the necessary attention and guidance to develop their skills and reach their full potential.

To find the club, Guildford Spectrum is located at Parkway, Guildford, Surrey, and classes are held at various times throughout the week, including Monday evenings, Tuesday afternoons (during term time only), and Saturday evenings. For more information or to get in touch with the club, you can contact them at 07799 691571 or visit their website.
