太田先生 Ohta Sensei
Ohta Sensei attended the prestigious JKA Instructors class in his home country and was Enoeda Sensei's assistant in England from 1982 to 2003.
His technical skills are widely recognised, and he is one of the most sought-after JKA instructors in the world.
Ohta Sensei awarded 8th Dan
On 15th February 2025, JKA England Chief Instructor Ohta Sensei was awarded the senior rank of 8th Dan by the Japan Karate Association—a recognition of his lifelong dedication to JKA Karate.
Since 1982, Ohta Sensei has worked tirelessly to promote JKA Karate across the UK and Europe, first as assistant to Enoeda Keinosuke Sensei and, since 2003, as Chief Instructor of JKA England.
This achievement is truly well deserved, and we are incredibly proud!
