Welcome to Shin-Ki-Tai Karate Club
My name is Richard Murphy and I am the senior instructor at Shin-Ki-Tai.
I have trained in Shukokai Karate for over 20 years. At present I hold the grade
of 3rd dan (Sandan) black belt.
I was taught by and trained under Sensei Terry Frow 3rd dan (Sandan)
black belt who in retiring from training gave me the opportunity to start
my own clubs.
I am a true martial artist and believe that all martial arts are
good if taught by good instructors.
I have trained in Ju-Jitsu, Kung Fu and other styles of karate.
I hope you enjoy our website and find the content useful and enjoyable
and we welcome contact from all martial artists of all styles.

A & L Karate Club
After successfully grading to 1st Dan under Sensei Richard Murphy in 2009, Andy
Crowder and Liam Murphy opened their own club (under the watchful
eye of Sensei Richard Murphy!) Andy and Liam have a free reign
to run the club in their own way but all gradings are supervised
by Sensei Richard.
