Ken Shin Kai Club at Tanglin Community Club


Ken Shin Kai Karate Club has been in existence in Singapore since 1997. Our instructor in chief is 8th Dan Hanshi Chia Kwek Fah who is an SNOC Certified Coach. The Club has 2 dojos (schools), a kids only dojo at the National University Of Singapore Alumni Club at Kent Ridge and the main dojo at Tanglin Community Centre. 

I have been a member of the club since 2002 (15 years) and have seen its membership grow from 10 to over 50. The members are from all backgrounds and all nationalities.
The latest addition we have are a Japanese family of 4 who are very enthusiastic about the training.     


If there are people interested to join, our classes are every Sunday at 6pm to 7.30pm.
Do note, you need to sign up at the Community Centre Office for a term of 12 lessons which cost a very reasonable sum of $65.00. 

Grading (or tests) are conducted every 3 - 4 months depending on the ability and motivation of the trainees. To attain a black belt from the beginner (white) stage takes approximately 5 years of active participation. It is not a walk in the park but you can do it if you persevere.   

1 free lesson is offered to anyone who wants to have a try-out.  

Just come and have a go at one of the oldest and most respected martial art form, It is worth your time. You need to be reasonably fit (exercise at least 3 times a week) and people of ages 5 to 65 (I am not there yet!) are slogging it out week in and week out.
