Andrew Hoare Bio

I started training karate in the Spring of 2004 after watching my children practice karate for many years (both of whom achieved 1st Dan).  I achieved my 1st Dan in the Summer 2008, my 2nd Dan in Summer 2011, my 3rd Dan in Summer 2014 and I my 4th Dan at the WIKF Winter course, 2022.
I had the opportunity to study under Suzuki Sensei between 2007 and 2011, which was a great honour.

I had assisted several times at the Alresford Dojo (in the past) and, as I am now local to the Alresford area, when the opportunity arose to take over the club, I did so in May 2021.

I really enjoy the teaching and watching the children develop their new skills and feel privileged to pass on my knowledge.
