I began my martial arts career with Shihan David Passmore Founder of Budokan UK, at a school hall in Northolt Middlesex in 1972. We practised Karate and Aikido, later Shihan David introduced Iaido and the practise of Zazen meditation for those who wished to practise. Since 1972 I have been a member of Budokan UK , until the association split several years ago, at which time I decided to form my own association (Ni Kawa Kai™).

Over the years I found myself training and learning from many different Sensei adding to my martial arts skills, gaining recognition along the way. I have had the privilege to meet and train with some very skilful Japanese and European masters who I would like to thank for their time and dedication to the martial arts.

There are others I would like to have meet and trained with but alas are no longer with us, an unfortunate situation we find ourselves as martial artists. It is my opinion that we should pass our knowledge of real martial arts on with no restrictions, systematically ensuring they survive, there should be no secrecy today otherwise the true effective techniques both physical and esoteric will be lost. We must document our own experiences and techniques as a legacy for future generations, ensuring that the true spirit and technique of real combat technique will not be lost amongst the modernist approach of misunderstanding between sport and the martial arts. We must continue to promote the martial arts as a way of life providing the benefits of good physical and mental health, self discovery, confidence, and self defence.

Ni Kawa Kai™, is a multi-discipline martial arts association, and we practice what is known as 'Budo'. This includes Karate-do, Aikido, Iaido, Jodo, Kobudo, and Zazen meditation. We have classes for both adults and children from the age of 5 years old, and offer exercise combined with an interesting pastime, which helps build fitness, self confidence and a self defence.

Why Exercise?
Exercise is a basic need. The human body is built for use and without regular exercise it will deteriorate, and by denying yourself regular exercise you are functioning below your best and the chance of getting the most out of life. Through our system of 'Fighting Fit'™, combined with Budo your fitness levels will increase, increasing the strength, endurance and efficiency of the heart together with increasing the ability of the respiratory system, which helps reduce stress and tension the product of modern living.
