The Shukokai Karate Federation (SKF) was formed in 1980 by the late Chief Instructor Shihan Eddie Daniels 9th Dan, who was one of the most respected pioneer Karate teachers in the country.

Shihan Daniels came from the old school of karate, and was part of the golden pioneer generation of karate when karate was fresh in the uk back in the 1960's.

He never lost the basic fundamentals of the martial art which is important for the ultimate test in character, to aim to become the ultimate Martial Artist. Keeping to the roots of karate but with a modern approach it is no suprise that the SKF is still around today constantly developing and growing the style of Kimura Shukokai, from who he followed the teachings of his late master, Soke Shigeru Kimura 10th Dan (1941-1995).

Shihan Eddie Daniels sadly passed away 25th January 2020 aged only 70 years old.

The SKF are forever grateful for all the leadership and teachings Shihan Daniels gave to all his students, and he will be sadly missed by all his family and students all over the world.

The Shukokai Karate Federation is now headed by Shihan Eddie Daniels most senior student Sensei Clem Braithwaite 7th Dan and he is assisted by Shihan Daniels wife Sensei Solfrid Daniels 7th Dan.
