We are a karate Club that has existed for over 26 years in Bridgwater and over that time we have had the pleasure of training thousands of students young and old. Some manage to stay the distance and are long time members but all who train gain something form their time in the Dojo.

We teach a traditional syllabus largely for belt grading purposes but we also incorporate many other martial arts in to the training. Training consists of basics and combinations of techniques followed by traditional partner work which leads on to actual sparring. Kata or set forms are also practiced and we dedicate one session a week to this part of the system.
Throughout the year we host many seminars and events inviting the top martial arts instructors from all over the country to teach at the Dojo.

We have links to the English Karate Federation and the English Wado Federation and are founder members of the Southwest Wado Alliance check the links page for more details of these groups.

We have between 70 to 80 members currently training in the club and it’s a fairly even split between ages and gender.
The training sessions are mixed and geared towards grade rather than age. The juniors are expected to do the same as the senior students and apart from the 5 to 8 year students who have some of the more technical techniques removed, the grade syllabus is exactly the same for all.

All instructors have enhanced CRB checks and are qualified in First aid. All assistant instructors are black belts of which we currently have 9 within the club.

Without any additional funding or grants over the last 26 years we have achieved what most people in professional sports clubs never managed; that is we constantly raise the esteem of the young and old.

We are proud that our club is friendly and welcoming which will make the first step in to martial arts that little bit easier.
