Tooting Karate Club is a friendly
place to learn traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate. Under
the expert guidance of Sensei Linda Marchant, a 6th Dan Black Belt
and former world champion, you will learn a wide range of techniques
from kicking and blocking, to traditional forms (or Kata), supplementary
strengthening exercises, self defence and pad work.

As a traditional
style of Karate, our emphasis is on building healthy minds and bodies
and teaching fighting skills that are of practical use in self defence
situations. You can improve your fitness and confidence
levels drastically through the practice of Goju Ryu Karate and there
are many opportunities to train with masters as well as enjoy social
and competitive events. When you join us, you are joining a vibrant
club within a much bigger organisation that can give you direct
access to some of the highest graded and most respected karate masters
in the world.
We train twice
weekly at our club which is located in Tooting, South West London.
There are also twice-monthly classes on a Thursday that
focus on kumite and sparring. It's walking distance from
Tooting Broadway Tube station (on the Northern Line) and there are
separate classes for adults and children on both Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Whilst we have a lot of students from local areas like Wimbledon,
Kingston, Morden, Mitcham, Streatham, Balham and Clapham we attract
students from all over London as well as Surrey. You are warmly
invited to take a look through our website to get a better understanding
about our style of karate. If you'd like to take that interest into
practice, do drop us an email or make an introductory phone call
and you will be most welcome to either watch a class or come and
join in.
