"Power of Won" Shotokan Karate Martial Arts.
Power of Won Karate is built on sharing and learning from all students' life time experiences and to gain strength from those we know and meet. Everyone at Power of Won is encouraged to act, behave, believe and conduct themselves in a way that sees them as a black belt long before it has happened. It is a representation of what is within us that makes a student a black belt, even when they are only beginning their martial arts journey. This is what makes every student at Power of Won a winner.
Martial Arts Karate is not just Fighting.
Every week our classes often end with inspirational quote from many different sources to inspire student to achieve their full potential, often referring to more mental and inner strength.

At Power of Won every Belt you wear is earned, you will even be proud to wear
your white belt. This is a proud moment for Sensei because he will get to
put on your white belt, then the next belt he will put on is your black belt.
Every belt in between you do yourself.

Postponed Christmas Breakup – Doncaster Aquarina Swimming
Centre
After having had to cancel last year’s
end of year breakup due to disastrous weather, we were blessed with a glorious
day of sunshine on a recent outing to the Doncaster Aquarina. Eighty
plus students and their families enjoyed a day of relaxing, swimming
and the barbeque.
Many students took advantage of being able to use the exciting outdoor waterslide, whilst others used the diving pool or the indoor / outside pools. It was wonderful to see families chatting and students getting along and further strengthening friendships. It was a great day!
We will be soon setting up a page
to show how well
Shotokan Karate works in the UFC®
and Mixed Marital Arts - MMA®. We will be highlighting
the outstanding career of Lyoto Machida who holds amazing
statistic of 16-0 (Win/Lose), least points scored against him and only being hit once
every two & half rounds, let's not forget holding the UFC® Light Heavyweight
Championship. Lyoto defiantly uses the same 1st principal defence we do -
'GET OUT Of THE WAY'.
