Welcome

Welcome to the website of the University of Hertfordshire Karate-do Shotokai (KDS) group.

Karate-Do Shotokai, or KDS as we more often refer to it, is a traditional karate style which focuses purely on the practice of karate as a martial art. Whilst we work to develop a range of effective techniques, we don’t just practise by rote. Instead, we train to build an awareness, both physical and mental, that lets us manage a situation decisively – without the distraction of competitions or commercialism.

Our sessions are open to men and women of all ages and abilities. We run a friendly, social club based within the University of Hertfordshire where questions are encouraged and everyone is allowed to get the very best out of themselves – all in the spirit of developing quality karate practitioners.
