From young children taking their first steps in martial arts to mature students who want to improve their technique, fitness and confidence, we have the right training for you.

Established in 1997 by fully-qualified instructor Shihan Mark Kirton, who has over 35 years experience as both a student and teacher of karate, we understand the importance of providing tuition tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're six or sixty, our fun and focused training techniques will help you to advance to the level we know you're capable of. Our motto is "reality and truth", and we've built our reputation on this approach for almost two decades. 

It's a commitment to excellence that has helped us to train students who have gone on to represent England in competition at senior levels, as well as teaching children the importance of hard work and discipline in a fun and friendly way. 

We also teach people with disabilities, tailoring our techniques accordingly, because we believe no-one should feel rejected. Our philosophy is to help everyone to better themselves and develop confidence as well as new, additional skills.
