Welcome to Aldershot, Farnham and Haslemere Karate Clubs - Chief instructor M. Shiomitsu Sensei 9th Dan Hanshi.
Aldershot, Farnham & Haslemere karate clubs teach the traditional martial art of Wado Ryu karate in the Surrey, Hampshire and Guildford areas.
Wado Ryu karate is a Japanese martial art, essentially a mix of traditional karate striking techniques, combined with unarmed controlling techniques from Japanese Jujutsu. Whether you wish to compete, learn to defend yourself or purely workout and increase your fitness, our clubs offer lessons for all ages or abilities & are equally suitable for both male and female students. Our classes are great for improving fitness, weight loss, toning and flexibility, whilst learning practical self defence skills & are a great way to stay healthy and keep fit. A typical lesson will burn as many calories as a Kickboxing, Judo, MMA, Taekwondo, circuit training or aerobics lesson. Beginners are always welcome at any class; all you need to do is come along in jogging bottoms & T-shirt, with lots of enthusiasm! Whether you have some experience in martial arts or a complete beginner, we'd be delighted to welcome you along & promise a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Please either just turn up at a class, telephone 07876 577675, or email info@surreykarate.co.uk for more information. Minimum age for children is 6 years old & the first session is free for every new student, when requested.
