Marital arts instruction in grading kumite and kata competition karate
Welcome to the Northgate and Associated Karate Clubs web site. We are a Suffolk based club covering: Bury Kesgrave Northgate Orwell Park Soham. We are affiliated with the English Karate Federation (EKF) and English Korean Karate Association (EKKA). We are a friendly club headed up by Sensei Bill Williams, 4th Dan. If your goal is achieving black belt or simply to improve your fitness, co-ordination or mental agility then please come along to one of our sessions or contact me for more information. We welcome new students. All our clubs are run by qualified instructors and we offer a friendly atmosphere for you and/or your children. Classes We operate the following types of classes: Red Dragons - Boys and Girls 4 - 7 yrs old Juniors - Boys and Girls 7 to 17 yrs old Adults - Men and Women 18yrs+ We run classes on every day of the week at various locations as shown on the Clubs page. We pride ourselves in supporting club members on their journey to Black belt and beyond and many club members have gone from white belts to black belt (1st Dan) and even further. Red Dragons classes tend to last 30 minutes and are a mixture of fun and learning basic Karate techniques. Juniors and Adults tend to have one hour lessons where the first 15-20 minutes are a warm up followed by varied classes based on Karate techniques including basics, punches, kicks, kata and kumite. You are more than welcome to come along to any class and see what goes on. Hopefully your visit will tempt you to get involved either as a parent or club member. We have several families where children and parents take part and have a great time getting fit and learning new skills. As members become more confident and advanced they can compete in local or national competitions. We have an active number of members that compete and win at national competitions. We also have a member on the national juniors Karate squad. As a club member you would be learning techniques on your journey to a Black Belt (1st Dan). We hope you enjoy looking around our website and hope to see you at a local class.
