At Cambridge Karate Club, we practise Shotokan Karate offering training to students of all ages and abilities. We are a fairly social bunch, and usually manage to do a few things together throughout the year. We are part of the Shotokan Karate Association and there are 4 gradings per year, along with an open day and some additional events for more advanced students. |
Please see our Frequently Asked Questions page for more details, and our training page for our training locations. There are also some Google Calendars with all our events on them. | |
"Karate" (meaning "empty hand") is an unarmed combat system originating in Okinawa. Shotokan is the style of karate which comes from the school of Sensei Gichin Funakoshi, who brought it from Okinawa to Japan in 1922. Karate can help you:
All our classes are taught by fully qualified instructors. |

The restart of classes will be on 1st October 2020, not 24th September, as previously announced. All other details remain the same.

Good News! We are planning to restart the Cambridge Regional College classes, from 24th September, with full distancing measures in place. Students will be required to complete a Track and Trace form. More details soon.
Dear Student and parents
We are writing to give you an update on the current situation with your karate classes.
As you are no doubt aware, most Leisure Centres re-opened on 25 July with limited capacities. We are planning to resume some classes after the children return to school in September. However, the Leisure Centres cannot confirm a restart date as yet.
The Monday class at Kelsey Kerridge is now suspended, given the situation with Covid-19. The Black and Brown Belt Kata course in London is postponed - the new date will be announced when it is known.
Due to Covid-19, the Wednesday and Thursday classes are not running. Monday is so far still taking place.
The 8.30 class on Wednesdays is not currently taking place. Adults who used to train at this class are welcome to come and train at 7.30. We hope to reinstate the class later in the year.
The Wednesday night training at Netherhall will be the 7.30 class only until September 2018.
