Welcome to Skewen

WADOKAI Karate Club 

Wado kai Karate is a martial art that combines traditional Okinawain Karate and Shindo Yoshin-Ryu Ju-Jitsu. Originating from Okinawa, now a part of Japan karate is a form of self defence combining punches, kicks, blocks and strikes.

We practice a traditional style of karate called 'Wado Kai' meaning 'Way of Peace'.

Karate helps build coordination, agility, strength and poise. The confidence gained through training helps foster a strong positive self image. Wado is a traditional form of karate, and is one of the 'softer' styles, meaning that it does not rely so heavily on phyiscal strength, making it accessible to students of all ages. 

At the heart of Wado karate is the goal of self improvement. Students are not judged against their peers, but by their own progress.

Because of this, no one is too old, young or unfit too start. All techniques are controlled and the training is progressive, so beginners can train without fear of injury.
