The Club

The Kanzenki Shotokan Karate Club was formed in September 2007 by Sensei Lindsey Musing and came under the tutelage of Sensei Peter Wright 4th Dan (Zanshin Ryu Goju-Kai) to help get us off the ground. Or first dojo was at the Dormansland Memorial Hall and we are now based at Imberhorne Lower School, Windmill Lane, East Grinstead. Click here to see the training schedule and how to find us.
Sensei Lindsey Musing

Sensei Lindsey Musing, a qualified dental hygienist and qualified complementary therapist practising in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage and Thermo-Auricular Therapy began training in martial arts in 2002, taking up the style of Shotokan under the instruction of Sensei Don Gillies. She trained three times a week working her way through the kyu grades, achieving 1st dan in 2007 and 2nd dan in 2009.

She has attended an organised summer camp every year since 2003 in Paris, working with many different experienced dan grade Instructors.
Sensei Donald Flood 5th Dan

Sensei Donald Flood is based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and makes regular visits down south to brush up our training and carry out gradings.

Donald and a friend, Alan Guest, opened their club in June 1985. On that first night there were just four karateka - the club has gone a long way since those early days.

Donald has over 25 years experience and has trained with many excellent karateka, including Andy Harris (6th Dan) who runs Ossett Karate Club near Wakefield. The Bradford club has up to 40 members at any one time and several have gone on to represent their country in both kata and kumite.
Sempais

The Kanzenki Karate Club has a number of black belt sempais (assistant instructors) with varying levels of experience who all help out with training. We are a small, friendly and very co-operative club, learning all the time from our senseis, students and guests.
