SHINBOKU Karate & Self Defence

We are a warm, friendly and successful central London karate & self defence club that welcomes students of all abilities
Our mission is to empower every individual to lead a more confident life.
"Shinboku" is short for Karate Shinboku Kai and stands for Karate Friendship Organisation. For us, this means:
we are a group of friends
who practice karate
and, when organised, run a successful karate club
​
We believe Karate is an excellent martial art, both for its historical form & significance and for its strong applicability to real-life situations we face today. Karate is predominantly a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open-hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes.
