Welcome/Fáilte!

Welcome to the blog of Zanshin Karate-Do Midlands. Zanshin was set up in November 2008 by black belts Gerard Walsh, Liam Darcy, Keith Walsh and Proinsias Ó Fearghail. Our aim is to deepen our understanding of traditional Shotokan karate, and to evolve it into the 21st century and beyond. To this end, we practice traditional basics and kata, along with light, semi- and full contact sparring. We also teach weapons skills to advanced students. We are affiliated to Renshukan Karate -Do Europe. We currently have 2 dojos:
