Our Little Dragons pre-karate and junior martial arts classes are aimed at teaching respect, responsible behaviour, and the ability to avoid negative peer pressure. Our training methods instil confidence in our junior members and stress the importance of how to be a leader, not a follower. Email by clicking below or call for an appointment. Take a look at the kids button on the menu to the left of this screen.
Our senior martial arts classes teach self defence, whilst improving confidence, flexibilty, co-ordination, people skills, strength, stamina and improved general fitness. Members can also compete in varying forms including MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). We teach traditional karate that is very applicable to street defence. Not all styles are the same and Goju is a close range system that enables practitioners to use a variety of non sport techniques including throws, joint locks, take downs and submissions. OKA was established in 1974 and has satellite schools in Sandford On Thames, East Oxford, Risinghurst, North Oxford, Hook Norton, Didcot, Cumnor and Witney. OKA is fully committed to teaching a high standard of traditional karate. Through diligent training and perseverance, the practitioner of Karate can develop a gentler, calmer nature, whilst developing a more focussed approach to daily living. The training develops a harmonious balance between the mind and body. Karate training offers many benefits as you too can soon discover. All of OKA's instructors are graded by a panel including Japanese 8th Dan masters. We do NOT use assistant low ranking instructors, ONLY Black Belts. All of our instructors are CRB checked. Some of our instructors also have black belts in other martial arts and have skills in Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Judo, Shotokan, Wado Ryu, Shito-Ryu etc. Please feel free to ask your instructor how long they have trained. Maybe you already practice karate, but have you ever asked your instructor what their level of experience is, how long they've trained, how long they've taught, or even how qualified they are? Are they certified by a genuinely recognised source?
I hope that by choosing to train with the Oxford Karate Academy , you have made a choice decision, based on high level teaching ability and a proven depth of knowledge and experience. I hope you enjoy training with myself, my assistant instructors, and your fellow students. Email your enquiry below or phone for an appointment.
