Sensei Tomiko Mitsuoka
Ms, Tomiko Mitsuoka (Black Belt 8th Dan) Teaches at Farnham Common
I was one of the pioneering ladies of Shotokan Karate-Do. I started 45 years ago, after I had my second son Jo. Then suddenly I was ready to compete and entered several world championships and got several titles with my team. I came to Slough with my two sons in 1994, I opened a Karate class and hoped to return back to the karate world which I left.My Karate classes are very family oriented, everybody is welcome. I am open minded.

Andy Hunt (Black Belt 3rd Dan )
I began training in Karate in 1994 , at the age of 43 and have been passionate about the practice and traditions of Karate ever since. My interest has also led me to training in Chinese Martial Arts. I received my 1st Dan from Sensei Enoeda of KUGB in 1998 and joined Sensei Mitsuoka and WSKF in 2005, I have since been recognised at 2nd & 3rd Dan by Senseis Mitsuoka and Kasuya.
