“I love that in karate people of very different ages and abilities train side by side.”
Introducing MK SKA in Milton Keynes
Karate and in particular the style we do, Shotokan, is the most popular martial art in the world. MK SKA is affiliated to the JKS, which in turn is a member of the English Karate Federation (EKF).
At MK Shotokan Karate Academy we aim to teach a high standard of karate with discipline and good dojo etiquette high on the agenda. Taking part in karate will help improve your fitness, focus, and discipline, it can also help relieve stress and promote good health. Having our own dojo ensures we have the right training equipment to hand, and gives us the flexibility to offer classes as required.
Whether you want to become a world champion or just improve your fitness then karate could be for you. It is also great for all the family.
Your first lesson is free, so if you are interested in karate, give us a try, you have nothing to lose. Our Instructors are fully qualified black belts, who are insured and DBS checked. We hold gradings as required though we remind all students that it is not a race and everyone will learn at their own pace.

Our history
After training under Bob Rhodes Sensei (8th Dan) for a few years, Bob’s move out of the Milton Keynes area was the catalyst for Keith establishing his own Shotokan karate club in Milton Keynes in 2015, associated with the KUGB.
Having gained an understanding of the philosophy of the JKS, and seen it successfully applied in his son Kennedy’s development, with the agreement of his students Keith moved the MK Shotokan Karate Academy’s affiliation to the JKS in 2020.
