The head of the Japan Karate Association England (JKAE) is Sensei Ohta, 6th Dan, based in London. Sensei Ohta supervises gradings where students progress through the different grades (shown by different coloured belts) up to Dan grades (black belt). It takes about three years to achieve a Dan (black belt) grade.

Club members frequently travel to training courses offered by Ohta Sensei and other senior JKAE instructors at different venues in Britain. In addition we attend the annual International Training Course organised by JKAE at the Sports Centre in Guildford, Surrey
