Practical self-defence for the street

Sensei David, though having an unassuming manner, is a master at practical Self Defence for today’s world. Sensei teaches his students variations for various situations, but points out that each confrontation/situation is unique and students are therefore encouraged to think outside of many timeworn approaches.

Sensei David requires students to know bunkai application for all katas taught, and not to simply see kata as a set of choreographed aesthetic moves to look pleasing to the eye of the uninitiated.

Karate as it should be

The karate taught at Kansai Karate Clayfield concentrates on the bunkai of the katas as self defence. Sensei David combines his wider training in traditional Japanese Ju-Jitsu to render awesome self defence techniques for the street in today’s environment.
