Kick Start Shotokan Karate was established in 2015 by Sensei Amy Tomalin but the teaching began back in 2011 under the Kent Shotokan Karate Clubs (KSKC). Kick Start is still a valued part of the KSKC organisation.
Sensei Amy has always prided her instruction on three values – self-confidence, discipline and determination. The instruction consists of basic self-defence skills combined with an element of fun to ensure students are learning whilst also enjoying themselves. Skills are developed over time as students progress through the grading system and develop further complex knowledge of karate.
Kick Start Shotokan Karate originally developed as a club by running after school sessions in primary schools. As the years went by, sessions developed into evening classes.
We currently run two evenings a week and have a large, successful member base.
