Tanren Shotokan Karate Club Dudley

I invited Sensei Hinsley to teach a beginner's karate lesson to a group of my work colleagues. It was clear from the start that Sensei Hinsley is passionate about karate; he made the session fun, informative and practical, covering everything from basic strikes and blocks to introductory self-defence. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the buzz in the office the next day was fantastic. I would have no hesitation in working with him again.

Sensei Hinsley is one of the most likeable and dedicated karate practitioners I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and training with. Tanren Shotokan is a friendly and open place that welcomes all practitioners from the complete beginner to the advanced martial artist. Sensei Hinsley is a fantastic coach with a flexible coaching style able to adapt himself to reach individual student in his dojo. I recommend visiting this dojo to anyone interested in martial arts or anyone who is interested in their children taking up a lifelong pursuit with a great instructor. -Craige Thompson, 5th Dan Instructor, Warrior Martial Arts School-
