Our karate is a traditional Japanese martial art combining hand and foot techniques in both defensive and offensive moves. Our emphasis is on all elements of karate including punches and kicks, blocks, strikes, evasions, throws, joint manipulation, hip rotation, stances, posture and breathing practise.

We conduct an equal measure of basic training consisting of basics (kihon), sparring (kumite) and forms (kata). As an art of self-defence as well as sport, our comprehensive training system can be enjoyed by young children through to adults, from all walks of life.

We teach a full syllabus all year round to children from the age of 5 years old all the way through to late adulthood. Our system consists of basics (kihon), sparring (kumite), and forms (kata) as well as fitness and conditioning exercises plus optional street self-defence based on realistic scenarios.

Many people are apprehensive about joining a karate club because perhaps they feel they are too unfit/weak/old/large etc. to do karate. Here are Cobra Karate, we would like to reassure you that we are open to ALL and we will never discriminate on the grounds of age, sex, ethnicity, religious beliefs or physical limitations. In the event of an existing illness or injury, it is always advisable to consult your doctor/GP before commencing any new physical fitness regime.
