Japanese Karatedo,
from 13 up

Our adult classes are traditional Japanese Karatedo for anyone 13 and over — real technique, practical self-defence and a proper workout. Every belt is graded against the standard set in Japan, and Sensei Luke still trains under Shihan Denis Purvis, who was a direct student of Soke Hayashi himself.

Whether you're a complete beginner or returning after years away, you'll train at your own pace within a respectful dojo culture. Many of our adults started with no experience at all — you'd never know it now.

You get the lot: fundamentals and self-defence, kata and bunkai, kobudo and conditioning, and a clear pathway toward black belt if that's your goal. Above all, a community that makes training something you look forward to.

Absolutely. Students start at every fitness level and you get fit by training. That's the point — a workout that gets results, taught in a way you'll actually look forward to.

Not at all. Many of our adults described themselves exactly that way before starting, and you'd never know it now. Our instructors keep teaching simple so anyone can develop sharp technique with time.

The journey is individual — everyone progresses at their own pace, with no judgement. The perseverance and self-discipline you build along the way serve you for life, and your instructors are dedicated to helping you reach black belt or whatever your goal is.

Comfortable clothes you can move in and a water bottle. We'll have a Gi (Uniform) available to try on if you'd like the full experience. Most people leave their first class grinning.
