England - North West representative

We are proud to announce Steve Lowe, 5th Dan in Shotokan, as the regional Kissaki-Kai representative for the North West of England!

Sensei Lowe originally started training sport Shotokan in 1980 but changed to more traditional JKA karate in 1986. He further studied Goju Ryu and Aikido and in 2001/02 became the first instructor/club in England to be affiliated to and teach JKS karate under sensei's Asai Kagawa and Scott Langley. However, it was not long after this that he ‘became disillusioned with the way our karate was going’ and felt the need for his karate to go back to be a fighting and self-protection system.
‘During this period of our journey we came across sensei Don and sensei Vince and it was as though we had come home. It was from this training with Kissaki Kai that my karate has enabled me to launch a self protection system that I now teach to various Home Office groups.’
Sensei Steve Lowe is now also the North West CRI (Crime Reducing Initiative) self protection and awareness instructor.

The Tai-No-Sen dojo is located in Wigan at the Westfield Community School, Montrose Ave, with the training times of Tuesdays & Thursdays 6.45pm to 9pm. and Abraham Guest High School Specialist Sports and Arts College Greenhey, Orrell, Wigan WN5 0DQ classes start on the 5th June: 9.45 am - 12.00pm

If you are interested in joining or just visiting, please contact Sensei Lowe on:

07738 477 035 (mobile) or Email: tainosen@aol.com, Website: www.tainosen.co.uk
