Colchester JKA Karate Club
Sporting Club in Colchester, Essex
Many people approach karate for different reasons - health & fitness, flexibility, self-defence, competitive success to name a few, we try to accommodate everyone's interests as far as possible. We train according to guidelines laid down by the JKA and as such we practise basic techniques, sparring and kata with some elements of self-defence, strength building and general fitness training. Karate is a strenuous martial art and can be extremely dangerous both to the self and others if treated without due respect.

It is by no means an exhaustive guide to karate but should provide a useful introduction to those new to this fascinating martial art. Karate is an empty-handed fighting art that has been developed through long years of history and tradition. Its ultimate goal lies not in winning or losing, but in fostering spiritual and physical strength through serious practice, and in trying to achieve an overall balance as individuals.
