Our Classes
We focus on the personal development aspect of karate, not just self defence moves, and offer classes which are accessible and enjoyable for all ages
Developed in Okinawa, a small Island off Japan, karate is a highly effective system of self defence, and also an excellent form of exercise that promotes a number of life skills and values.
Shotokan is the style practised at The Karate Dojo and is the most popular style of karate in the world.
Belts Grading:
A grading is a test you take to achieve a higher rank/belt. When you start karate, you are a white belt (10th Kyu). If you are successful in your first grading, you become a red belt (9th Kyu). There are 10 colour-belt (Kyu) grades to black belt.
It’s not about just giving kids what they want in terms of a new belt. Some clubs are misleading children and doing them a disservice if the emphasis is on giving them belts to help them keep populating their clubs. It is about personal development and being honest.
At the Karate Dojo we have a standard that it recognised around the World.
We offer a FREE NO OBLIGATION taster session for all of our programmes

Junior Classes
WE SHARE AND TEACH THE SAME VALUES YOU TEACH AT HOME
Our classes have a strong focus on personal development.
The foundations of our morals, values and core character traits are formed in our early years.
For this reason, our sessions at The Karate Dojo are an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of young students of all ages.
