JSKA UK

Japanese Shotokan Karate Association (JSKA)and it’s dojo’s have all instructors fully licensed, qualified and CRB checked.

JSKA UK aims to provide the best training to suit everybody’s needs. This will be achieved by development of students, teaching them all the aspects of karate. This in turn will increase their fitness levels, stamina, confidence and body strength as well as learning control through regular disciplined lessons, training camps and courses with world recognized Japanese instructors.

Karate classes are designed for all ages, from beginners to advanced. In every class we learn the basic punches, blocks, kicks as well as the advanced techniques for those more experienced.

We aim to guide the students through regular gradings and disciplined classes with lots of karate games, which helps your children to practice techniques in a fun way.

So far we have had great success in teaching children the basics (kihon), which even black belts practice in their lessons. Basic punches, blocks and kicks help the students to get more comfortable with the art of karate and non-contact sparring helps them to build up their confidence.  Fun endurance exercises helps to improve their strength and stretching helps to improve their flexibility, balance and coordination. Learning basic sequences (kata) not only conditions their brains but gets them prepared for fighting in the future (kumite). Learning small Japanese words, counting and memorising the rules of karate makes the students more aware of a different language and the true fighters mind.
