Building Confidence and Respect Through Karate
Our Story
Welcome to our Karate Club! My name is Stuart Birkinshaw and I’ve been passionate about karate since I started training in 1988. After achieving my Black Belt in 1998, I took over the club and have spent the last 28 years teaching. I take great pride in the achievements of our students, especially those who have reached their own Black Belts. Karate requires dedication and discipline—do you have what it takes to join us?
Shusoku Shukokai Karate is a family friendly Karate club in Hoghton. We believe Karate is for everyone, teaching not only self-defence but also discipline, respect, and confidence. Our aim is to create a welcoming space where all ages can thrive and support one another.
