Our Instructors

We have a group of instructors who encompass the meaning of karate and who are known as the spine of the club. All the instructors we have are qualified, experienced and DBS checked black belts. We allow some individuals, who have not yet reached black belt, to help in classes as assistant instructors and use this to assess them for their ongoing black belt grading. Whilst assistant instructors are very well trained, they are not allowed to teach alone or unsupervised until they reach black belt and are qualified to teach unsupervised.

Sensei Howard Wise

5th Dan - Senior Instructor
I started karate at the age of 23 studying kyokushin for 2 years until work and family took priority. 20 plus years later, I started taking my kids to train with Sensei Enzo and after a few months of watching them decided to start training again at the ripe old age of 46. I got hooked and now, 16 years later, I'm still part of a great association which is, ENGLAND KARATE KAN.

Sensei Sara Quirino

1st Dan
I started karate about 16 years ago when my father introduced it to me as a hobby. I then progressed over the past 5 years in becoming a fully trained instructor so that I could be able to teach full time. It has become an incredibly rewarding career and I feel incredibly proud of each student when I see them achieve the next level in their karate experience. I have also experienced the competing/sports side of karate which helped me achieve a silver and gold in Kata.
