An interview with
Sensei Keith Pace

Sensei Keith Pace

Sensei Keith was a major influence in the creation of the Broseley Goju Kan dojo, now the Shropshire Goju Ryu Karate Academy, since it was through his teachings and friendship with Sensei Max that lead to the establishment of the dojo.

​

Sensei Keith was, by reputation, an unassuming and yet formidable karate-ka having been trained by Gary Spiers,  His martial arts background started with boxing and wrestling with elements of Judo and Shotokan before becoming a dedicated student of Sensei Gary in Goju Ryu.

​

Sensei Keith formed his San Gan Kai school in Moreton, Wirral and honoured Sensei Max by bequeathing the mantel of Honbu Dojo on to him shortly before his passing.

​

Sensei Keith's presence is felt constantly in the Academy and an annual award is presented in his honour to a student who has exemplified his spirit of relentless self improvement​.
