Bristol Karate Club
The premiere sport Karate club in the South West
What style of Karate do you practice?
The style of karate we practice has its origins in the Wado Ryu system and has been developed and enhanced over the years.
How much does it cost?
There are no fixed membership fees - you are only required to pay on the days you train. Current charges are £4.00 per person (seniors) and £3.00 per person (juniors).
Will I get hurt?
Of course the sport is very physical but injuries are rare because of the controlled way in which it is practiced. All of the instructors are trained in first aid.
