If you are a past member, future member(!), or just a visitor from another club, style or country, we hope that you enjoy reading these pages and informing yourself about us and karate in general.

The site contains information about different aspects of karate and our club, from the instructor to an introduction to karate. Make sure you keep up to date with the latest feature on the News page as, with any luck, this will change from month to month or whenever anything interesting happens! You can always expect regular site updates and improvements.

Have a look around and leave a message on the Guestbook with any comments about the site or about anything else Karate related. You can also send Internet greetings cards from this page until this section of the website is rehoused on its own page. If you've never sent one before here is your opportunity! A further new addition to this page is the Backwell SKC Voting Booth. Check this out and add your own votes!

And with all this content it is a wonder you haven't bookmarked this site all ready! Don't forget to look us up in the future!
