When someone says ‘Karate’, your mind probably goes towards films and shows like the Karate Kid or Cobra Kai, where crane kicks and excessive theatrics are at the heart of it. Real, traditional, Karate is nothing like that. Karate represents a complete system of fighting and self defence – with kicks, punches, takedowns and locks. The diversity in training makes Karate a complete system and gives you the knowledge and ability to defend different threat levels in real life situations.

You can never be too old for anything! Our classes take students from the age 5+ and are specifically tailored and organised so children and adults are grouped with people their age. Our classes will keep you motivated and fit – all whilst having an enjoyable time! Be sure to bring a bottle of water with you as Karate can be thirsty work and we aim to help everyone from all backgrounds and ages reach their potential.

Those who want to compete in national and international events will have the full support of WKA. At WKA we will regularly be entering squads in Kumite (Fighting) competitions both nationally and internationally. We have a specific squad training program and the best instructors to help you achieve your goals.
