SKIPTON KARATE 30th ANNIVERSARY

2017 marked a huge milestone for our club when we celebrated our 30 year anniversary.

 Sensei Ian Spence started the club in 1987 with just a few students. 

Since then the club has gone from strength to strength.

We would like to thank all of our students past and present for supporting the club over the years.

Here's to another 30 years!
