We would like to inform you of some significant changes within our association regarding the instructorship at Wokingham and Caversham clubs.

Gary Leyshon, who previously led the Wokingham and Caversham clubs, has left the Southern Shotokan Karate Association (SSKA).

With these changes, we are pleased to announce that we have appointed two new highly skilled instructors to lead these clubs:

•       Ian Binge will be assuming the role of instructor at Caversham club.
•       Dawn Grieg will be leading the Wokingham club.

Ian and Dawn bring with them a wealth of experience, expertise, and dedication to the SSKA. They are committed to upholding the standards of excellence that our association prides itself on, and we are confident that they will inspire and guide you.

To all members who have been training at Wokingham and Caversham clubs, we extend a warm invitation to continue your training under the guidance of Ian and Dawn.

Furthermore, we welcome new members to join our clubs and experience the benefits of Shotokan Karate. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, there is a place for you in one of our clubs, and we are excited to welcome you to train with us.

It is important to note that Gary Leyshon is no longer affiliated with the SSKA in any capacity. Any representation or association with him should be disregarded.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes or any other matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your feedback and input are always valued and appreciated.
