Bournemouth Karate Club (Wado Ryu)

Have you met Carl and his crew at Bournemouth Karate Club (Wado Ryu)? They're smashing it with proper traditional Wado Ryu karate, courtesy of the Wado Academy (UK) and the big boss, Sensei Masafumi Shiomitsu, 9th Dan Hanshi.

Check this - Wado Ryu karate blends Japanese Jujutsu, Okinawan Karate, and even swordsmanship. Yeah, it's the full package! Carl's club knows getting that black belt isn't a walk in the park - it’s at least six years of hardcore dedication. They reckon repetition builds character and sets you up for a lifetime of karate awesomeness.

Newbies, listen up! The club’s got your back. Training sessions kick off every Tuesday from 8pm to 9pm and Thursday from 8pm to 9:30pm, just for 7 quid. Keep an eye out, though – sometimes they shut up shop on certain dates. Follow them online to stay in the loop.

Carl's all about keeping the vibe alive on social media. Check their Twitter (@BournemouthWado) and Facebook (Bournemouth Karate) for the latest gossip, and their YouTube channel (Bournemouth Karate) is a goldmine of karate tips and tricks.

Got a minute? Dive into their blog on the website. It’s packed with resources to boost your Wado Ryu game - think basics improvement and kata insights.

They welcome anyone aged 16 and up. So, rock up in your trackies and t-shirt, and after a few weeks, you can grab a white karate suit. Thursday sessions are a steal at 6 for an hour and a half!

Carl and his team focus on keeping healthy, steady progress, and nailing those basics that’ll help you in everyday life. Bournemouth Karate Club (Wado Ryu) is all about fostering skills, fitness, discipline, and focus in a friendly local setup. Ready to join the fun?
