| The British Shotokan Kyogi International is a non-political traditional Shotokan karate Association, 
            
            set up to preserve and remains  true to the values and principles of 
            
            Shotokan karate upon which it was founded. It is those values and 
            
            principles that have ensured Shotokan was and remains the pre-eminent 
            
            karate style worldwide. The BSK allows karate-ka the 
            
            freedom to train to a high standard, within a supportive yet 
            
            non-invasive family style framework, regardless of race, religion or 
            
            nationality. This is achieved through the medium of international 
            
            competition, technical instruction and international grading examination 
            
            and certification for both instructors and students alike.
 Our mission statement is: 
           To foster and develop Shotokan as a martial art, by understanding 
            
            and promoting the concepts of budo.  To promote and support the principles, good practice and ideals of 
            
            Shotokan karate.  To develop, promote and strengthen friendly relations between 
            
            affiliated groups/individuals in an apolitical atmosphere.  To assist and develop Shotokan karate as a positive aid to every day 
            
            life.   We offer an open invitation to all groups and likeminded individuals who
