I feel as though I am at last achieving something for myself, every week I train and always surprise myself at how much I am achieving on a personal level. The instructors are top notch and every lesson is different. My son is now a black belt, the work and dedication of the club has helped his confidence and self esteem so much.

"I have been a member of Walsall Karate Dojo for over ten years and have progressed from pure novice to 2nd Dan Black Belt under the brilliant guidance of the chief instructor Steve Carless. The modern , well equipped full time dojo is the result of his life long dream  to create one of the finest karate training venues in the UK.  Also, being affiliated with the international JKS federation ensures that there are lots of opportunities to train under world renowned instructors and take part in competitive karate. It also presents the opportunity to travel to the homeland of karate to train at the headquarters of the JKS in Tokyo. Walsall Karate Dojo  hosts well attended , year round  events such as walks and meals where members of all grades can get together in a more relaxed atmosphere. I personally have met some incredible people who have become lifelong friends and I hope to continue to train there for many years to come."

"I started my Karate journey at the tender age of 39, when i thought it was time to start looking after myself, being overweight and having no experience of martial arts, i was very apprehensive about what i was letting myself in for, with all the self doubt questions such as 'am i too old old? am i too overweight? will i be able to keep up? am i fit enough? etc.
I needn't have worried , it was apparent as soon as i walked through the door that i was in a great welcoming environment with excellent experienced instructors who are dedicated to helping students of all abilities, exceed their own expectations. so if your looking for something to help you get fit with the added bonus you'll learn something too, then i can thoroughly recommend Walsall Karate."
