Chris, the organiser of Keynsham Karate, would like to extend a warm invitation to the sports community. Chris's philosophy centres on the belief that karate is more than just a physical discipline; it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
At Keynsham Karate, they offer focused guidance in a fun and informal setting. Chris understands that not all karate is the same, so the emphasis is always on people. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned martial artist, new members are valued, and existing members receive the support needed to grow and achieve their goals.
With over 100 club members from various backgrounds, Keynsham Karate is a vibrant community of different ages and skill levels. Laughter and camaraderie are key elements, and the joy of each other's company has been central to their success for the past 30 years. Located at five venues in the East Bristol and Bath area, including a thriving junior group, they provide an inclusive environment for everyone.
Chris's commitment to the club is reflected in their Karate Pledge, which focuses on the welcoming and supportive nature of martial arts training. Your first visit is made easy, prioritising individual needs over specific techniques. Progress and fitness improvements are at your own pace, with encouragement and support always on hand. The experienced coaches share their knowledge out of a genuine love for martial arts, not for financial gain.
Keynsham Karate offers flexible training schedules with various days and times to suit different lifestyles. The classes provide exercise for both mind and body, covering the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of karate. You will find friendly, like-minded people who share a passion for self-improvement and personal growth.
Joining is straightforward with no joining fees and no contracts. In fact, your first four lessons are completely free, making it easy to start your karate journey without any financial pressure.
The benefits of practising karate are many. It teaches discipline, boosts self-confidence, promotes a positive mindset, and enhances cardiovascular health. It also improves stamina, endurance, coordination, strengthens core muscles, and increases overall muscle mass. Karate challenges the whole body and provides exercise with purpose.
Classes are run across Bristol and Bath, and finding a session nearby is simple. From Stapleton to Staple Hill, Kingswood to Keynsham, and Bath, the classes are easily accessible. They also offer a Ladies Only Group and Friday Morning Karate sessions for those looking to start their day with an invigorating workout.
Chris and the team believe in a fresh approach to this ancient art. They discourage any misconceptions about karate being a combat sport or just for super athletes. Instead, they teach a practical and effective form of karate that focuses on staying calm under pressure and using your body efficiently.
If you’re interested in starting your karate journey, Chris encourages you to inquire about the classes. The club values each member and aims to help you discover the transformative power of karate.
