Founders

Our Chief Instructor Sensei Roy Hazelwood holds a 6th Dan level Black Belt and has continuously trained in Shotokan Karate
since 1979. He has competed in National
and European tournaments, has trained in Japan and with some of the leading exponents of Shotokan Karate.

His passion has never wavered and his exceptional general and technical knowledge
is continually developed through, practice,
study and advanced courses. He is pleased
to be able to pass his knowledge on to anyone who wishes to learn this fascinating Martial Art, whether they are young or older. His students describe him as awesome, inspiring, patient, friendly, gentle.

Wendy Hazelwood, started training in
Shotokan Karate in 1988 and is still a student
of Sensei Roy Hazelwood. Having come from
a teaching/personal development background, she has developed much of the motivational side of our group. We believe that everyone should use their Shotokan Karate for their own benefit, being the best they can be according
to the Dojo Kun. All junior students can be awarded merit stickers for their achievement after their weekly training. They can also join our Junior Achievement Programme alongside their physical training in order to understand the philosophy which underpins
our Karate.

Through developing links with local schools
and community support groups, we have taken the opportunity to support anyone who wishes to practice Karate as a Martial Art and this also fulfils all the outcomes of Every Child Matters.
TSKAGB

Our group has 17 Hertfordshire based clubs.
We specialise in Shotokan Karate, new students ages 4* to 65 can join us every week. We pride ourselves on having opened our first club in 1984 and have continued to grow steadily since that time.

Our Instructors started as beginners, just as you will when joining our group, so understand the dedication and patience required to develop
and succeed. All have completed, or are currently completing, our TSKAGB Karate Instructor Programme and hold current CRB Enhanced Disclosure. Fully insured, some hold First Aid Qualifications & have gone on to open their own clubs, choosing to remain under the TSKAGB quality brand.
