Sensei Remi Jurgilaitis started his karate journey in 1999 at his home town club in Lithuania.

Since starting his journey in karate, our lead instructor has consistently demonstrated remarkable skill and dedication. In 2010, he proudly earned his 1st Dan black belt, marking the beginning of his pursuit of karate mastery. Not one to rest on his laurels, he advanced to 2nd Dan in 2019 and achieved his 3rd Dan in 2022, all under the prestigious JKS England grading panel.
