Colchester Wado Ryu Karate

Colchester Wado Ryu Karate is a family run martial arts school which has taught children, young people and adults for over thirty year.
We run classes for children aged 5-13 years of age, young people form 13 to 17 years of age and adults from 18 years and upwards. There is no upper age limit and there is no required level of fitness for a person to start in our classes.
Classes consist of various type of activities which includes basic, punches, blocks, strikes and kicks. These moves are practiced in lines, with a partner, either while holding a punch bag or as part of our controlled sparring sessions. We also focus a lot of what we learn into self defence application.
The beauty of the style of karate we practice is that you do not need to be physically strong to be able to use is in self defence.
Although we can offer beginners classes, we find that new members who join mixed ability classes, benefit by learning much faster. In turn this boosts a persons confidence and quickly enables them to feel a valued part of the club.
