Lowestoft Shotokan Karate Club

Based in Lowestoft, Suffolk, Satori martial arts was founded by Sensei Chris Broadley in 1988. After several different training locations Satori had its own Dojo, a converted drill hall in north Lowestoft officially opened by Sensei Masoe Kawassoe in 1997. In 2006 Satori Karate moved to the new Nirvana Fitness Gym on Pinbush Road in South Lowestoft with a purpose built Dojo for Satori members. 

Following the 2020 pandemic and the subsequent closure of Nirvana Fitness, the Karate Club relocated to new premises in the centre of Lowestoft. Today Lowestoft Shotokan Karate (formerly Satori) operates under the Association of Shotokan Karate (ASK) and our members can also train at Kessingland without any additional charge.

We have provided karate tuition to the local community for more than 35 years. Some of our students have gone on to achieve their black belts and pursue further careers in karate. Many more have benefited from the core skills and experience that karate offers.
