Kyokushin Karate

Kyokushinkai karate is a relatively modern, strong style, with a philosophy of self-improvement, discipline and hard training. Kyokushin Karate has grown in popularity since the 1960’s and there are now many karate organisations all over the world teaching the Kyokushin style.

Ideal for self- defense, it can improve self-discipline, coordination, and confidence in adults and children alike. Adults may want to improve their fitness, health, flexibility, and strength whilst learning an excellent form of self-defense. It is also fun and you will make new friends in the family atmosphere of our dojos.

At East Kent Karate we teach all aspects of Kyokushin Karate: – self-defence and two fighting styles for sport and competitions, non-contact and Knock-down. We also teach the full syllabus of Strikes, kicks, blocks, nd Kata (detailed patterns of movement) so that students can earn the right to wear the different colored belts.

Getting Started

You can just turn up at a club or let us know you are coming if you prefer. If you are a child you must bring an adult with you. Parents are always welcome to stay and watch their children. Wear loose fitting clothing, jogging bottoms and a T-shirt or sweatshirt are ideal. Don’t worry about shoes, we do our karate barefoot.

Whether you are a child, teenager or an adult you will find our clubs friendly and you will receive a warm welcome.

Karate can help to get you fit, but it is also fun and you will learn some very useful self-defense, come and give it a try.
