Shinka Karate, whose name means "evolution" in Japanese, is a family-run karate club based at a community hall in Barkingside, Essex. It is led by Sensei Mark Green, a 4th Dan chief instructor. Classes are organised by belt colour group, so children from the youngest age and adults can train alongside others at a similar stage, with senior grades and adults training together. Beginners are welcome and a free introductory lesson is offered. Alongside traditional karate, the club has run kobudo and weapons training, self-defence work and competition-focused sessions, and has taken part in a range of regional and national karate events. The club also runs a second class at a hall in Collier Row, Romford.
