Australian Shotokan Karate Academy

The purpose behind the academy formed by Alan Bainbridge was to give as many people from all walks of life a place to learn at a nominal cost the Shotokan Karate skills and values that the art has given him.

By forming the academy Alan could also carry on giving like he used to in England, by not only supporting his students, but also to many charities, people and organizations feels may need helping.

Not only do the members of the academy can train without paying any membership fees, or worry about any joining fees and contracts, they also know they are helping people less fortunate than themselves.
