We teach a modern, dynamic style of karate called Shukokai. Based on traditional Shito Ryu, Shukokai is an effective and practical martial art that teaches students how to defend and attack with devastating power, speed and accuracy. Alongside Shukokai, we teach Ju-jitsu which uses locks, holds, throws and targeted strikes to defend against attacks. We teach an effective, modern form of Ju-jitsu, suitable for various self-defence situations. We also offer tuition in weapons, including tonfa, nunchaks, bo staff and knife. And, if improving your fitness is your goal, we can offer fun, instructor-led workouts designed to build strength, power and endurance. We offer discounts to Shipshape gym members so why not combine a fitness class with a session in the gym?
Our classes are taught by professional instructors in a safe, controlled environment. Classes are adapted for different ages and abilities. There are 3 main programmes, depending upon the age of the student:

Mini Thunderbolts

Adults
