We are able to take children from 5yrs and up,adults and family groups are encouraged to train together. We take a serious approach to the training but also make sure it is fun and engaging for all and have many special classes devoted to specific groups. Children rapidly learn how to take instruction and develop quickly thus improving their self awareness,confidence and discipline. this translates in better co-ordination,concentration in schools ,respect and improved life skills. They will also make lots of new friends and improve their social skills! For adults, Karate is obviously useful as a form of self defense, but is also excellent for fitness and mental agility. The instructors have full DBS Clearance and are safeguard trained via Devon county and carry basic first aid skills. As we are a martial art insurance is a requirement for all and can easily be obtained through the club once you have joined. Training suits,gloves,badges and equipment is usually purchased through us and is just a few of the things that make you feel part of the group. Tiverton Shotokan Karate Club has been established for over 40years, and also incorporates Willand Karate Academy. Sensei Andy Purrington 4th Dan has been instructing for over 30 years and is a recognized KUGB senior instructor and competition referee. His extensive knowledge of Karate-Do is equally as impressive as his highly enjoyable teaching style as any of his students will attest to! There are various styles of Karate and Shotokan is the most widely practiced style in the world. We have a grading scheme in place with the KUGB who are the single largest Martial Arts organization in the UK. Every three months, students that are deemed ready by Tiverton Shotokan Karate Club are assessed for their next belt by the KUGB's chairman, Sensei Fran Brennan, 8th Dan,having taken over from Sensei Sherry 9th dan. Please email us with any questions or enquirys. We look forward to meeting any new members that wish to join!
