Very good staff and friendly environment, my daughter loves it and enjoys it.
My son really enjoys the classes and has gained a lot of confidence since he started. Staff are friendly and make the lessons fun!
Teaches real Shotokan karate using methods from the karate association in Japan. It benefits adults and children alike, and demonstrates discipline and things you will implement in real life.
I have been training here for around 10 years. Very good and experienced instructor in shotokan karate who has trained under many big figures in karate. You will definitely learn true shotokan here.
Great teaching friendly atmosphere. My daughter enjoys training and looks forward to attending each and every week. Her confidence and self control has improved tremendously. Definitely recommend.
DONT BOTHER IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY UNDERLINE NEED. My child has ADHD and was refused entry before he could even try for one session, telling me “they don’t achieve!” He was written off before he could even try. They are ableist! I wouldn’t want to take my children anywhere that wrights them off before they’ve been given a chance, seen as Kids who couldn’t achieve anything before they have even met them. I would AVOID!
Excellent friendly tuition. My son started few months ago and have seen the change in his confidence. Great instructors. Looks forward to his classes.
they are very good
This club is very friendly and encouraging for children of all abilities. It is so good to see the progress they are making in just a few weeks and they are so enthusiastic about taking part!
Everything is excellent. My son is enjoying his karate classes.
I've been looking for a local Karate club or a while, for myself and my son to join. So glad I found JKA Academy. Sensei Sham Aktar and his highly experienced team want every student to enjoy the sessions and get the very best out of Karate, not just physically but mentally. Everyone is welcome and the club has a family feel that is inclusive for all, no matter what their experience. Highly recommended.
My son started shotokan karate from this year Feb. We are very pleased to have such experience and professional instructors like Sensei Sam Aktar,Senpai Jon Keen,Senpai Ejaaz Cadinouche and Senpai Prab Padisetti. They are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We can see not only physical development in our son but his concentration towards study also improve. Teaching methods deserve more than 5 starts.
