Welcome to the Shukokai Karate Federation (SKF)

Established in 1980 by the renowned Shihan Eddie Daniels (9th Dan), the Shukokai Karate Federation stands as a beacon of traditional karate excellence in the UK. Shihan Daniels was celebrated as one of Britain's most respected karate pioneers, instrumental during karate's golden era in the 1960s.

Today, SKF continues this rich legacy under the expert guidance of Chief Instructor and Technical Director, Sensei Solfrid Daniels (7th Dan), wife of the late Shihan Daniels.

Our Senior Panel Instructors, Sensei Clem Braithwaite (8th Dan) and Sensei Keith Cockburn (8th Dan), bring extensive knowledge and dedication to the federation. They are further supported by Sensei Audun Daniels (7th Dan) and Sensei Paul Richards (7th Dan), ensuring SKF remains at the forefront of karate teaching and technique.

Shukokai Karate Federation (SKF) have built a reputation for producing students and instructors of the highest standards. Although sport is only part of our organisation we have regularly produced National & International Champions in both Kumite & Kata within Shukokai and All-Styles.
