TRAIN IN SHOTOKAN JKA KARATE THE UlTIMATE IN FITNESS & SELF-DEFENCE at the best JKA Karate Academy in Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire... JKA Shotokan Karate emphasizes the inter-connectedness of kihon (basics), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring) as a unified system for developing natural, effortless movement and a balanced mind. Through rigorous analysis and refinement of kihon, the JKA has made kata more applicable to kumite, and kumite experience further refines kihon and kata.
This cyclical process leads to a harmonious integration of mind and body, allowing for instinctive and powerful action.

Mr Sham Aktar 7th Dan JKAWF - Kawasoe group, is the head coach/instructor at the Shotokan Karate JKA Academy. The Shotokan JKA Academy has two locations, one in Watford Woodside and one in Luton Beds - UK. He is currently a qualified & recognised member of: Japan Karate Association (JKAWF), Japan Traditional Karate Institute (JTKI), World Shotokan Institute (WSI) and in the past has also been a member of Shotokan Karate International (SKI) under the late Kancho Hirokazu Kanazawa 10 Dan.He is Currently affiliated with Japan Karate Association World Federation ( JKAWF ) . He has over 52 years of Karate & martial arts experience. He Started Karate & Martial Arts at a very young age,originally wanting to become strong & fast like Bruce Lee,his martial arts role model, after watching his films in the early 70's, and to this end,he began training in many traditional & modern martial arts,including Karate, Kick-Boxing, & Tae kwon Do (WTF), in which he achieved his 1st Degree Black Belt in 1983,. He also trained extensively in Kyokushin Karate, Aikido, Judo, Ju-Jitsu, Jeet Kune-Do, and Tai Chi Chuan . However he stuck with Shotokan Karate as tha has always been his passion,as he was able to devote his whole energy in mastering its basic principles of technique,and also it provided him with a strong foundation, enabling a greater versatility for power development through its use of the whole body & hips. Fired up with this passion,he has travelled a lot in his lifetime, training extensively in China, Malaysia, & Japan with the worlds' leading original old school Karate & Martial arts expert masters,& recalls how these masters have always pushed his training beyond his limit at every session, for which he is very grateful to them to this day, as he benefitted so much from it . He tries to do likewise for his capable and up and coming students at the Shotokan JKA Academy. His goal is to revive the true spirit of the original old school traditional JKA Karate at his Shotokan JKA Academy for his students,which seems to be distorting, & to simplify the techniques principles & concepts that he learned from each of his original JKA karate masters for his students.
After over 50 years of practice,analysis, research,reflection, & synthesis of his own karate learning & progression, Sham Aktar has devised a unique, & simplified, training program for his students at the Shotokan JKA Academy, which enables anyone from the age of six years and above to learn this original dynamic, practical,fascinationg & highly effective JKA Karate art for total self-development, fitness,sport, and for ultimate self-defence in an easy to follow step-by-step format than ever before,at Aktar's Shotokan JKA Academy, and thereby become great karate Black Belt of the future on this fascinating journey of Black Belt self-discovery at the Shotokan JKA Academy, which has been endorsed & approved by some of the world's top leading Shotokan JKA experts as well as high level dignitories..
