Raising Confident Kids Since 1974

Founded in 1974, Oxford Karate Academy has raised generations of happy kids through our approach of firm discipline and fun.

Our kids gain:

  • Co-ordination and technical karate skills in a structured environment.
  • Skills to avoid and protect themselves from bullies – healthy self-assertiveness, de-escalation skills, and the practical skills for legal self-defence!   
  • Opportunities to compete in both kata (forms) and kumite (sparring).

Fitness with Real-World Practical Skills

Seeking a varied alternative to a gym routine?  You will: 

  • Gain fitness and strength through challenging exercises.
  • Improve flexibility through stretching.
  • Generate power through padwork.
  • Learn traditional karate skills, practising kihon (basics).
  • Develop knowledge of goju ryu kata (forms) – techniques and their practical applications. 
  • Understand close-range fighting and self-defence techniques, striking, trapping, controlling, and escaping, as well as ground techniques.
  • Engage in different types of kumite (sparring) in a controlled environment. 

You will sweat and you will be challenged, but you will also make friends and have fun. Karate is for all ages – get in touch now to try it out.
