Our Club
Welcome to Loughton Karate Club. We're based in Loughton, Essex, UK.
We’re a family friendly club where parents can choose to train separately or with their children.
Our style of karate is based on Wado Ryu, originating from Okinawa and dating back to 1934. We combine the teachings of traditional karate with modern training methods.
Our syllabus includes various strikes, kicks, blocks, joint locking, throws and groundwork.
Students progress through the belt system by taking gradings to test their ability.
Karate practice involves a lot of physical training helping students to be strong, fit and healthy. The rigours of intense physical activity help our students to become resilient and better equipped to cope with the hardships of life.
Included in our syllabus is the ‘soft’ skills of self-defence to help students avoid and/or deal with conflict without having to use violence.
We offer discounts for families and multiple weekly training sessions.
All levels are welcome. Children can start from 5 years old.
All of our instructors are insured, have an Enhanced DBS, Child Safeguarding and 1st Aid training.
