The Official Grading

Welcome to the Shunryu Kenpo Karate Academy


The SKKA is a friendly, family run martial arts and self-defence club based in Sawtry, Cambridgeshire. At the Academy we believe in making self-protection and self-defence accessible to people from all walks of life. We are not about making hard men harder, but in making normal people fitter, safer and more confident.

Please browse our site further - the FAQ pages are packed full of the most commonly asked questions associated with the practicing of a martial art.

If you’re interested in joining the Shunryu Kenpo Karate Academy or private sessions then please contact the Chief Instructor.

Call: 01487 832218 or 07595 255147

Your first lesson is free, so what have you got to lose?
