Oxford Karate Academy Karate for Kids & Self-Defence Classes in Oxford UK

Get fit, gain confidence and make new friends while learning karate from the best. Oxford Karate Academy have over 48 years of experience teaching karate, and provide high-quality expert tuition in a safe, inclusive and fun environment. Karate provides exceptional all over body fitness in a way that is paralleled by few other fitness activities. Classes will improve your cardio fitness, co-ordination, strength, and flexibility, as well as providing additional benefits such as confidence. As well as traditional karate (including basic techniques, performing kata or sequences of pre-arranged techniques, padwork and sparring), classes also cover a range of life skills including topics such as self protection and first aid.  We have some wonderful people of all ages and backgrounds in the dojo - I feel proud to call them friends.  I've also been privileged to meet fantastic people of all ages and backgrounds internationally through karate, having travelled with Shihan Paul Coleman to dojos in Liverpool, London, Poland, Germany, and Portugal.  I could not recommend Oxford Karate Academy, and Shihan Paul Coleman, Sensei Joe Bennett, and Sensei Hkanhpa Sadan, and the rest of the team more highly.  Give karate a go and let us welcome you to our wonderful community.
