Kyushindo karate is a dynamic, relatively modern martial art that originated in the UK during the mid-20th century. Kyushindo karate takes influences from traditional Japanese styles of martial arts such as Shotokan and includes some elements of more free-flowing techniques, such as Pa'-Kua. Kyushindo karate techniques are based on economy of movement, footwork, timing and precision in order to concentrate the body's power at the point of impact. As well as direct techniques, Kyushindo karate also incorporates some circular and flowing movements.

Our teaching philosophy is based on the fundamentals of karate: Kihon (core techniques or basics that build a strong foundation), Bunkai (practical application of techniques), Kata (forms or set sequences of movements) and Kumite (partner drills and sparring). 

Kyushindo karate is taught by our team of fully qualified instructors who volunteer their time to provide a welcoming and safe environment. We are dedicated to helping our students develop confidence and fitness through the study of traditional martial arts, self-protection and self-defence skills. Our classes are suitable for adults, youth and children from 8 years of age. Beginners are welcome to join us for a free introductory lesson. 

Our club prides itself on providing quality martial arts instruction since 1970. We maintain our standards through personalised attention and interaction with students.
