🥋 Nippon-Den Kempo Junseikan International Karate Club

🌟 About Us

For more than 40 years, Nippon-Den Kempo Junseikan International Karate Club has been helping families discover the benefits of martial arts. As a not-for-profit organisation, our focus is on community, tradition, and growth rather than profit. Rooted in the Goju Ryu style of karate, our club carries a proud lineage that connects directly back to Chojun Miyagi Sensei, the founder of Goju Ryu Karate–Do. This means your children are learning authentic skills passed down through generations of true masters.

👨‍🏫 Our Instructors

Our journey began when John Ingham Sensei travelled to Japan in 1984 to train under Tomoharu Kisaki Sensei (9th Dan), one of the most respected Goju Ryu masters. Through private lessons, John absorbed the same teachings Kisaki Sensei received from Chojun Miyagi himself. Today, Glen van Boven Sensei continues this tradition, ensuring that every student benefits from this direct and genuine connection to karate’s roots.

🥋 What We Offer Kids & Families

We provide a safe, welcoming environment where children can build confidence, discipline, and respect while having fun. Parents love that karate is not just about self-defence—it’s about developing resilience, focus, and healthy habits that last a lifetime. With experienced instructors and a supportive community, kids of all ages can thrive both on and off the mat.

💖 Why Families Love Us

Families choose us because we’re more than just a karate club—we’re a community. Our not-for-profit approach means we prioritise the wellbeing and growth of every child. Parents appreciate the balance of tradition and modern teaching, while kids enjoy the excitement of learning new skills, making friends, and achieving personal milestones. It’s a place where children feel proud, supported, and inspired.
