Budo Kyokushinkai is a Kyokushin karate club in south London, based in a Catholic primary school hall in the Croydon area. It is led by Shihan Darren Stringer, a fifth dan who has trained since 1990 and has a record of kata and knockdown competition results at British, European and world level. The club teaches separate kids and adult classes, covering kata as well as full-contact knockdown, and welcomes men, women, hobbyists and competitors. A dedicated fight session runs on Sundays at a partner fight gym in Purley, and one-to-one personal training is available. No previous experience is needed, and new students can try classes before committing.
