For kids, the karate classes not only provide physical fitness but also teach them discipline, respect, and determination. In today's technology-driven world, where sedentary lifestyles are becoming the norm, the club offers a much-needed body and mind workout for children.

The club provides a body and mind workout that is essential for overall well-being.
Shotokan Karate, the style practised at Huntingdon Karate Club, has a rich history dating back over 50 years in the UK and almost 100 years in Japan. Developed by Master Gichin Funakoshi and his son Gigo Funakoshi, Shotokan Karate focuses on body alignment and proper application of body dynamics. It offers numerous physical benefits, such as improved fitness, flexibility, self-defence techniques, balance, speed, power, strength, coordination, and relaxation.
Beyond the physical aspects, karate also offers non-physical benefits that can positively impact one's life. These include increased confidence, discipline, effort, respect, and determination. By practising karate at Huntingdon Karate Club, members can develop these qualities and apply them in their daily lives.
Additionally, the club offers a specialised karate class for individuals over the age of 40. This beginners' class is designed to accommodate all fitness levels and covers karate, self-defence, and general well-being. The club understands that it's never too late to start practising karate and encourages everyone to give it a try.
To make it easier for new members to join, the club offers two weeks of free karate classes for both kids and adults. This allows individuals to experience the benefits of karate before committing to regular classes. Additionally, a specific offer is available for the 40+ class, with four weeks of classes available for just 25.
