Experience the passion and expertise of Chris Ewing Karate, the premier Karate club in Musselburgh. Led by Chief Instructor Chris Ewing, a highly accomplished 6th Dan black belt with an extensive background in Wado-Kai karate and Jujitsu, our club offers a unique blend of traditional Japanese martial arts.
Having dedicated himself to the practice of karate since 1986, Chris Ewing has an impressive list of achievements under his belt. With a standout career that includes Scottish, British, European, and Commonwealth championships, Chris made the decision to retire from the national squad in order to focus on his true passion – coaching.
Since opening its doors in 2005 at the Portobello Community Centre in Edinburgh, Chris Ewing Karate has rapidly grown in reputation and popularity. Today, our club boasts a state-of-the-art dojo situated in the heart of Musselburgh High Street. We cater to both children (starting from 5 years old) and adults, offering a range of classes suitable for beginners through to advanced students.
At Chris Ewing Karate, we understand the importance of family and community. Parents are welcome to observe their child's progress from our comfortable reception area or take advantage of our parent lounge, ensuring a supportive and welcoming environment for all.
For our junior members, we have a comprehensive grading syllabus in place to help them progress through their ranks. Starting with the junior yellow and orange belts, which are earned during regular class time and meant to encourage their growth, our young karatekas then move on to the formal 'Kyu' grade system. In order to achieve the higher senior belts, students are required to undergo a formal grading examination, accompanied by a CEK Association license. These examinations occur every three months and require a small fee.
By joining Chris Ewing Karate, you will become part of a close-knit community that prioritises the art and discipline of karate. Whether you're looking to improve your physical fitness, develop self-defence skills, or simply embrace the spirit of martial arts, our club is the perfect place to begin your journey. Are you ready to unleash your potential and become part of something extraordinary?
Join Chris Ewing Karate today and discover the endless possibilities that await you on the mat.
