The British Karate Kyokushinkai (B.K.K.) Crawley Dojo has been running for over 35 years and as such is one of the areas longest established clubs. We have been privileged to have Hanshi Steve Arneil (founder of the International Federation of Karate and Chief Instructor of the B.K.K) as Chief Instructor at the dojo for the majority of that time. Since July 2008 Hanshi has decided to relinquish his responsibilites due to the huge workload of running the International Federation of Karate and his extensive foreign travel. The dojo has a number of other highly respected and recognized instructors. Shihan David Pickthall 5th Dan, who is the current Great Britain Knockdown Coach, has taken over as Chief Instructor along with the assistance of Sensei Neil Madeley 4th Dan and Sensei Darren Stringer 3rd Dan. All instructors for the dojo are CRB checked and licensed to the BKK.
