Affiliation

We the "Shuhari Wednesbury Karate Club" are affiliated to Kazoku Kai International, who have International Association with members around the world, including India, Canada, Germany, Nepal, Bahrain, Venezuela and Sri Lanka.

We are members of (T.M.A.F.) Traditional Martial Arts Federation of which Sensei Derek Ridgeway, Sensei Harry Cook and Sensei Julian Mead are joint presidents.

(T.M.A.F.)

T.M.A.F. was formed by a group of Senior Instructors who were concerned with the need to keep a high level of Traditional Karate in this country and abroad. The idea is to come together and to train, to share ideas and knowledge for the betterment of karate as a whole, both in this country and beyond.

PRINCIPLE INSTRUCTORS OF T.M.A.F.

HARRY COOK - GOJU/SHOTOKAN

JULIAN MEAD - YUISHINKAI KARATE/WEAPONS

DEREK RIDGWAY - WADO/SHITO-RYU

Via these instructors we have access to the four main styles of karate and the Okinawan weapons system. We believe that this is the only Federation to be able to offer this much knowledge and level of instruction to its members.
