About Karate :
Karate is a martial art which developed out of the traditions of Japan and has a long and noble history. It is one of the most accomplished Self defense systems using all parts of the body for defense and counter attacks. The style we practice is Shotokan which was founded by Gichin Funakoshi.
It is important to understand that Karate is more than simply learning “techniques”, but a martial art which aims at the perfection of character through dedicated training of the mind and the body. A good technical standard can only be attained through hard work.
We offer classes from 7 years and above, the first lesson is free and £5 there after.

The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.
