Reviews of Akashi Shotokan Karate Club

I started at Akashi Shotokan Karate Club about 10 months ago and although I achieved 3rd Dan level with a different organisation, it has surprised me how much more there is to learn. The instruction is 1st class from Glenn Sensei who is very friendly but also very focused on teaching Karate at the highest level. The club has members of all ages and has classes at various times to suit everyones needs and everyone is willing to help. I sometimes think how much better I would be if I started at Akashi years ago and I feel excited to be a part of this great club. Karate is a great way of keeping fit and also letting off some steam after a hard day at work. I would definitely recommend Akashi Shotokan Karate Club.

Give it a go have a new experience and step into new world of Martial Art in multicultural environment, you wouldn't be disappointed

My son has never looked back. . . his confidence has grown tremendously since joining this Karate club. . . it combines fitness and self discipline with a fun place to learn. . . . he started as a complete novice and has achieved his green belt with hard work and determination. . . I would definitely recommend it.

Ladies, if you've ever fancied giving karate a try but felt a little intimidated then this is the club to join. My daughter started training here 3 years ago and 6 months later I joined too! The club is very friendly, very mixed and offers first class training with a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Instructor, Glenn Sensei is experienced, friendly and very down to earth. We've seen our children grow in confidence, fitness and skill as a consequence of his training techniques. If you or your children want to train in a friendly, hardworking, fun atmosphere then this is the club for you.

My son loves to attend class, He started karate for fitness but is gaining much more. He loves karate already. It is a very professional class with a great sensei. The other members made him welcome when he first started and he is a very happy and proud member of Akashi Shotokan Karate Club.

I have trained in a number of Dojos over the years and can confidently say that the Akashi Shotokan Karate Club in Leeds is by far the best of these. I had a long gap out of training (several years) and decided to restart along with my seven year old son. After a lot of consideration I decided to give Akashi a try, and was very glad I did. Sensei Glen Riley is a first class instructor who really cares about his karate and his students. The club offers a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly members, and classes to suit students of all levels (including the tigers class 4-6 year olds). Glen encourages everyone to work together to learn, and makes you use your mind as well as your body. I have never seen my son pay so much attention! Whether you're a first timer or a time served martial artist Akashi Shotokan Karate Leeds is definitely worth a visit.
