AKA is a super-friendly karate club with something for everyone. The instructors are fun and knowledgeable and there is a good mix of skills and techniques on offer. You can join in for fun and fitness or to advance through the grades if you're serious about karate. My son loves going here and always comes home with a smile on his face :)

Joined kickboxing as a compete beginner at the age of 39. I’ve never done any martial arts before. Steve is an awesome instructor. Works us hard and is super knowledgeable. My son also attends the U13s kickboxing and Karate combat clubs. He loves it. Steve is great with the youngsters. The right level of discipline to compassion for them learning. My son has learnt so much already. He has even competed in and won his first tournament. Highly recommend this club!

Awesome Sensei and friendly environment. Range of sessions, family karate really great for training together and mixed classes give a great mix of training experience. The sessions are quite varied keeping things interesting and challenging. Warning that its slightly addictive once you walk through those doors 😂 perfect for destressing and challenging yourself. I couldn't recommend more highly!
