Karate is for everyone

If you’re aged 6 or over, you can learn karate with Easingwold Shotokan Karate Club.

Although some clubs will take students younger than 6, we feel that their bodies aren’t sufficiently developed until then.

You don't have to be fit, flexible, fast or co-ordinated to begin learning karate. Come and study with us, however, and you'll probably end up being all of those things.

Karate can offer something for you regardless of your age or physical ability.

Learning karate is also a great experience to share with your child. At the moment, we have a number of parents who train alongside their youngsters and they all say it is a great way to bond as it's something they always have in common.

If you're in any doubt about whether your state of health might prevent you from learning karate, please consult your doctor.
