Welcome to
Hull Shukokai Karate 

Who Are We?

Since 1972, we have been committed to delivering excellence in karate under the leadership and guidance of our founding Chief Instructor, Shihan Tony Grainger 8th Dan, until his passing. In 2024, the torch was passed to Chief Instructor Sensei Steve Beveridge 6th Dan, who now leads our esteemed dojo with the assistance of Sensei's Scott Clark 4th Dan, Andy Garmston 3rd Dan, and Michael Chappell 3rd Dan.

With over 100 years of combined karate experience, our dedicated instructors have trained numerous champions in both kata and kumite. We draw our knowledge from the esteemed U.K. Chief Instructor Denis Casey 9th Dan Hanshi, and our World Chief Instructor Kamohara Tsutomu, 10th Dan Hanshi, ensuring that our teachings are rooted in traditional Japanese methods.

At our dojo, we provide students with authentic traditional Japanese Karate incorporating Budo Karate, Sports Karate and Self Defence in the tradition of Sensei's Tani and Yamada. Additionally, our supportive and progressive environment encourages personal growth. Here, you will enhance your physical fitness, mental strength, focus, self-discipline, self-respect, and respect for others.
