Ryukyu Karate - Langport

Ryukyu karate is from Okinawa and it is a traditional martial art, it is not a sport but a self defence system.

Our first Dojo (club) in England, opened in London in 1978 by Sensei Ian Gouge. He moved to Taunton and opened a Dojo in Monkton Heathfield in 1984. The Langport Dojo opened in March 2010 under instructors Sensei Terry Irwin and Sensei Mark Irwin both taught by Sensei Ian Gouge. Ryukyu karate includes blocks, punches, kicks, throws, take downs, ground fighting, sparring, pairwork, kata, meditation

and yoga type exercises. It is suitable for females and males from the age of 5, with no upper age limit. Everyone is welcome to train with us including students from other martial art styles. Feel free to turn up or contact us on 01458 250173

Thank you.

🥋 Come See Langport Karate Club in Action! 🥋

We’re excited to be taking part in the Long Sutton Village Hall Sports & Activity Taster Day this Saturday, 18th April and we’d love for you to come along and watch.

🕑 Karate demonstration: 2–3pm
There will also be plenty of other activities happening throughout the afternoon so there’s something for everyone to enjoy — plus refreshments and a BBQ available.

Whether you’re completely new to martial arts or just curious, this is a great chance to see what karate is all about. Some of our members will be demonstrating techniques, skills, and the discipline that makes karate such a rewarding activity for all ages.

Karate isn’t just about self-defence — it’s also fantastic for:
✔️ Improving fitness and flexibility
✔️ Building confidence and focus
✔️ Reducing stress and boosting wellbeing

Come along, meet the team, and find out how you (or your children) can get involved.

Karate belts are more than just colours; they represent a journey of self-discipline, personal growth, and mastery of karate. Each belt shows:

🟪 Consistent effort
🟪 Improved understanding
🟪 Personal growth
🟪 The real achievement is the journey between belts.

Which belt was the most challenging for you?

A dojo isn’t just a training hall. The word dojo means “the place of the way.” In karate, that “way” is a path of learning that uses physical movement to develop understanding, discipline, and character — not tied to any religion or belief, but drawing from the essence of many traditions.

A dojo is a special space, set aside for growth and self-development.

Our dojo at Long Sutton Village Hall is called Kongokonsui Dojo which means “Dojo of the Golden Waters”.
