Welcome to our website which is dedicated to trying to find sponsorship to help send members of the Kimura Shukokai Karate Kent club to the Kimura Shukokai International (KSI) World Karate Championships, which are to be held in Atlantic City, USA in July 2012.
Kimura Shukokai Karate Kent is proud to be a member of the Shukokai Karate Federation (SKF) and all students train under the guidance of Sensei Chris and Katie Simpson and also with the England Squad under World Chief Instructor Shihan E. Daniels 8th Dan and Coaches Sensei Clem Braithwaite 7th Dan, Sensei Solfrid Daniels, Sensei Paul Richards and Sensei Audun Daniels 5th Dan.
Up to seven members of the club, all with previous success in both National and International tournaments hope to join other members of the SKF's England Squad in competing in the World Championships. Full details of the hopeful competitors can be accessed by the menu bar.
As with so many non Olympic sports there is little, if any, central funding avaliable to meet the training, travel, kit and accommodation costs associated with representing England at World level. Each student spends many hours training hard to try and acheive success and it can be seen from the individual profiles that to date all have been successful.
It is anticipated that each individual will have to raise in the region of £1500-£2000 to enable them to travel and compete in the championships and whilst they have already undertaken a 20 mile sponsored walk, held raffles, and other fundraising events a considerable amount is still needed to reach their targets.
If you or your organisation is prepared to assist these athletes in reaching their goal then please contact us by emailing us at:
