"Thirty years of existence for the Kihonkai Dojo bears testament to the founder, owner and chief instructor, Sensei Stevie Mason.
He is without doubt the epitome of what a true Sensei entails, a karateka that sets the example by being a training man, a Budoka,
a man who understands discipline but at the same time compassion and a karateka with an outstanding technical knowledge of Karate -do.
Scotland can be proud of Stevie Mason as KWF are and as I am to have the privilege to call him friend".
