What we do.

The University of Kent Karate Club is situated in Canterbury and is very well established; we’ve been around longer than any other martial arts club on campus with a long history of success at the national university championships. The teaching is generally fairly relaxed but disciplined, the teachers all very approachable. We also have a varied curriculum and full weekly training schedule.

Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art; literally meaning ‘empty hand’ it was first created as unarmed defence against armed opponents. It uses powerful strikes designed to disable and incapacitate potential antagonists and as such is a practical skill to know. It provides both mental and physical conditioning, keeps you fit and works to teach useful self-defence.

We are a multi-discipline club, although we’re based in dentokan shorin ryu style karate we have a number of senseis trained in various styles. Beginners are welcome at any point in the year however it’s advisable to join closer to the beginning of a term to benefit the most.

We grade twice over the year towards the end of each term to recognise improvement made and to add a bit more variety we also frequently hold lessons dedicated to ju-jitsu style self defence and basic weapons training.

We cater for competitive members, we normally enter the annual ‘BUCS’ university competition, and this year we hope to get involved in a few more. Our social calendar is usually packed full of exciting events and this year is set to be no different.
