Our dojo welcomes all ages and abilities. Together, we hone a special set of skills by training in martial arts. Led by Wales' national kata coach, Sensei Chico Mbakwe (8° dan).
Shotokan karate makes brutal combat techniques practical and safe to practise. Training for competition, self-defence or the simple joy of martial arts, you'll learn real-world fighting skillsets through expert tuition.
The only karate governing body recognised by World and European Karate Federations (WKF and EKF) and the International Olympic Committee.
This means our chief instructors hold valid, UK Athletics-recognised coaching qualifications. Senior sensei oversee safe and effective training, where respect is paramount and classes inspire us to develop both skill and control.
