Sensei Ken Skene

Sensei Ken Skene is proof that it is never too late to take up Karate!

He trained in traditional Wado Ryu some 20 years ago, but due to business and family commitments had to stop training.

Six years ago however, his son started Karate and whilst he was sat watching his son training, he decided at the ripe old age of 46 to have another go!!

" I was extremely proud to see my son get his black belt and it was his achievement that drove me on", explains Sensei Skene.

With dedicated training he attained his 1st Dan black belt in November 2003, and Sensei Paul Bowles promoted him to SSKO instructor in October 2005.

His 2nd Dan black belt was awarded to him in March 2006.

Sensei Skene states, "I am fitter now than I have ever been, and I am extremely proud to be an instructor in this friendly family run club that caters for all ages".
