The Kensei Karate Dojo (formally Kazoku Karate Dojo) has been in existence since 1995. The dojo was first located at the Hillside Primary School in Lower Earley, near Reading, Berkshire and on the opening night there were over 35 new students wanting to learn more about traditional Karate-Do.
The dojo then relocated to the St. Nicolas Church Hall, Sutcliffe Avenue, Earley, in February 1998. At one time there were over 50 students practicing and training.
The dojo is friendly, but traditional & disciplined. Run by husband & wife team Adam & Annette Carter with help from their son Tristan.
Students range from 6 years (some younger with parents) old up to adults and all enjoy training together. We encourage parents to join in with their children, to make your training a truly family affair.
Adam Carter is the Chief Instructor at the Kensei Karate Dojo and has been training in Karate-Do for over 36 years. Carter-sensei has always been a very popular instructor with both junior and senior members. He strives to follow the traditional ways as taught in Okinawa and Japan.
Annette Carter is the gyosei (administrator) for the dojo and assists with the teaching of the class members. With her friendly and approachable manner she regularly has the younger members flock to her for assistance and guidance.
Tristan Carter is also an Assistant Instructor at the Kensei Karate Dojo where he assists with the teaching of the junior members and keeping the younger members in control. (Tristan is currently studying illustration at Carlisle University)
