FOUNDED DECEMBER 2014
The Traditional Karate-Do Federation of Great Britain brings together traditional karate clubs across England, from Lincolnshire to London, Leeds and the south coast.
Our mission is to build self-esteem, sound health and strong character in our members through disciplined, hard karate training. We aim to keep the highest standard of training by continually improving our own skills.
Our community is built on the knowledge passed down by Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama, one of the closest students of Sensei Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of modern karate. Continuous growth is our primary goal.
— Zbigniew Godzisz 5 Dan, TKFGB Chairman
Our lineage
TKFGB members train and grade within the international traditional karate community (ITKF and WTKF). We regularly host and attend seminars with world-class masters.
The aim of Budo is perfection of self by seeking and training in the Martial Arts.
Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama
