Welcome to SHOTOKAN FUDOKAN KARATE UK!
My name is Csaba Bacsák, and I have spent nearly 30 years immersed in the beautiful and transformative world of martial arts. For me, this is not just a sport or a hobby—it’s a lifelong passion and a path towards self-confidence, balance, and a fulfilling life.
In my classes, I will introduce you to the traditional disciplines of Shotokan and Fudokan Karate, as well as a clear, practical self-defense system that you can rely on in real-life situations. These are not just techniques—they are the foundations of a warrior’s lifestyle, offering resilience, focus, and inner peace for everyday life.
Over the years, I have led karate and self-defense groups and have been involved in close-combat and self-defense training for law enforcement academy students. I have been privileged to learn from exceptional teachers and masters, receiving top-quality, professional instruction. I am proud to pass on this effective, realistic, and practical knowledge to my students.
I’m not here to teach you how to fight—I’m here to show you how to use your skills with intelligence, discipline, and heart. You’ll learn how to prevent and avoid dangerous situations, and how to respond effectively when avoidance isn’t possible.
This is not just training—it’s a lifestyle transformation, a journey towards strength, clarity, and confidence.
Many students have already joined me on this path, and I warmly invite you to become part of our community. I’m ready, motivated, and excited to grow and learn alongside you while building a strong, supportive environment together.
