Seiken Karate, run by John Smith, is a martial arts school based in Ilford, UK, focusing on respect, discipline, confidence, and friendship. It offers karate classes for children 5 years and older, aiming to boost their focus, self-discipline, and confidence through physical training.
Classes are held at The Scouts Hut on Hurstleigh Gardens in Clayhall, every Monday and Wednesday. Various time slots are available to fit different schedules. The school's curriculum emphasises strong technique and important life skills, with the ultimate goal for students to achieve the rank of Black Belt.
Each 12-week term has its own pricing, and the school occasionally offers holiday camps and weekend sessions for additional training. A Governing Body licence is required for all activities, costing £30 for the first year and £25 annually thereafter. New students need a licence within 4 weeks, purchasable through the club's online shop. Lessons are £6 each, paid in advance per term, with the first trial lesson free of charge. Students are encouraged to get a white karate suit and sparring gloves within 4 weeks, also available in the online shop.
Seiken Karate provides a safe and supportive learning environment, with experienced instructors dedicated to proper guidance. New students are welcome to register for a free trial lesson to experience karate training firsthand.
