Potton Shotokan Karate Club recently celebrated it's tenth anniversary. The club was set up in October 1995 by chief instructor Richard Scoot at the Potton Sports Centre. "We originally trained in the small hall which is now the gymnasium", he said.

"Fortunately for us, when Tony and Emma at the sports centre created the gym, we moved to the big hall. My first class attracted about ten students but now we have over 40 training every Tuesday. The only original student still training is Vicky Byford who is our senior female instructor."

The club is CRB Certified, insured and affiliated to the English Shotokan Karate Association.
