KIHON KARATE WALES

Welcome to Kihon Karate Wales and the world of Wado-Ryu! From the tender age of 6, Sensei Roger Clark has trained under the guidance and influence of past masters who 'may' have left the worldly bounds of this life, yet has continued to teach the modern student of today the same traditional methods.

There are lots of different wonderful styles of Martial arts to chose from, adopting one to suit your own preference can be difficult since there is much debate about which has the most suitable and more importantly - 'effective form!

Wado-Ryu is structured upon many different ancient forms of Karate, which is why it is considered the most popular choice for beginners and other Martial artist who chose to increase their knowledge in Martial Arts.

Sensei Roger Clark started his journey 27 years ago, studying Kickboxing under the guidance of Mark Valentine and David Roderick. After achieving his 2nd Dan Black Belt in this feild, Roger continued to increase 'his' knowledge of Martial Arts under the expert guidance of Sensei Unel Wellington, the 'President' of the Welsh Karate Association - The most sucessful association in the United Kingdom.
