Lea Valley Karate Academy
Not managed on Matador yetKarate
Lea Valley Karate Academy is a traditional Wado Ryu karate club founded in 2004 in Enfield by Sensei Daniel Hollister. It has since grown into a multi-venue academy across Hertfordshire, Essex and north-east London. This South Woodford branch meets at Woodford Memorial Hall and is led by Senior Instructor Katie Hurry, a 4th Dan who has represented England. Classes are grouped by belt level, from newcomers through to brown belts and above, with a separate adults-only session. Training covers self-defence and competition preparation, and members can also attend sessions at the club's other venues. The club holds the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts and partners with a Hertfordshire charity supporting families affected by autism and ADHD.
