Aiki Shotokan Karate Jutsu is an independent, family friendly club for adults and children from 5 years old. The club is led and organised by dedicated local instructors wholly interested in the promotion of good karate and karate for self defence (karate jutsu). We are proud members of the British Combat Karate Association.
Classes are held throughout the week at Beaulieu Community Centre and Holy Trinity Church Centre (Springfield)
Maps for venues with class times can be found under our where we train section.
Our costs are transparent and can be viewed in our costs section.
Aiki Shotokan Karate welcome beginners and we invite you to contact us to organise your first FREE trial lesson. If you enjoy your FREE trial lesson you will be able to attend another 3 free classes before joining the club fully to allow you to check karate is for you.
Our training is based on the karate jutsu principle exploring the function and practical application of karate for self defence.
This is achieved using the traditional mix of basics, form and partner sparring alongside impact padwork, combination drills, the use of anti-bullying/self defence strategies and selective weapons training.
Through time our training regimes naturally encourage health and well-being benefits for those at all levels of fitness.
All aspects are taught by our own experienced instructors or external specialists as required.
Students train using a syllabus as a framework at each level, slowly building competence and confidence.
Aiki Shotokan Karate is part of a friendly network of clubs both locally and nationally that work in co-operation to run seminars and courses.
