Creating opportunities for students

As already fairly accomplished martial artists and instructors, we decided that the stringent requirements and standards required by being members of an external representative body would be much more beneficial for students and ourselves. Not only would we be taken more seriously by other martial arts organisations, but also it would open up opportunities to be part of competitions, courses and tournaments with other karate clubs. This gives our students the opportunity to meet new people outside of just our club.

Cobra Karate’s instructors and senior students continue develop their karate foundation under the humble instruction and watchful (if somewhat unwitting!) eye of Alan Woods – a practitioner of traditional Okinawan Kenpo Karate Jutsu since 1967 currently ranked at 6th Dan awarded in 1994.

Between 2008 and now, other instructors have discovered the importance of putting students and standards first and have become Cobra Karate instructors though a desire to maintain quality teaching in a personal, friendly environment and giving their students opportunities to experience exposure to other martial arts.
