Established in 1969, Paignton’s Torbay Karate Club focuses on high quality Shotokan Karate, an effective and strong traditional martial art taught in its full depth for self-defence, confidence, health and fitness and a strong mind and body. Grades are truly earned and internationally recognised (can be used as part of GCSE and A-Level PE Syllabus). Torbay Karate Club is affiliated to the Karate U
nion of Great Britain (KUGB), by far the largest and most successful single-style martial arts association in Great Britain renowned for their uncompromising high standards and for their welcoming approach. To learn Karate with Paignton’s Torbay Karate Club is an empowering lifelong journey with great personal rewards with opportunities to participate in Karate courses, Karate competitions and social events. All Torbay Karate Club instructors are Black Belts, qualified, insured, hold current first aid qualifications and are Enhanced CRB (DBS) checked. Our club's Chief Karate Instructor is a 5th Dan Black Belt and our grading instructor is the legendary Sensei Andy Sherry (9th Dan) who was the first person in Britain to be awarded a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. Lessons are Tue & Fri at St Boniface Church Belfield Road, Paignton, TQ3 3UZ. See the website for more details: www.torbaykarateclub.co.uk or email [email protected] or telephone 07545278008.
