Kenshukai Karate
Not managed on Matador yetKarate
Kenshukai Karate is a London karate club network that says it has taught thousands of students over 25 years. The Walthamstow class runs in the Studio at Walthamstow Leisure Centre and teaches traditional karate drawing on Shotokan and Goju-Ryu, with an emphasis on kihon (basics) and kata, and free-sparring expected at higher grades. Children from age five and adults of any age are welcome, and beginners can join throughout the year with no experience needed. A children's beginners class is followed by a mixed-ability class that adult newcomers can join. Parents can watch from the side, and a first trial class lets newcomers decide before committing. The club is affiliated to NAKMAS, and registration gives access to its other London locations, special classes and training camps.
