The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

(Lao Tzu)

Your journey to becoming a martial artist, and beyond has just begun.

Welcome to Shotoryu Bideford!

We practice a traditional style of karate, using flowing techniques which

require whole body movement.   

Everyone is welcome and your first practise is free. Whether you are

a beginner or advanced in another style - our doors are always open.

Our five Tenets of practice are:

Breathing,

Relaxation,

Centralisation,

Concentration

and Harmonisation.

Whilst fitness and flexibility are key components of martial arts you dont

have to possess these qualities as a beginner. Our classes are designed to gradually improve your fitness to levels which will surprise you.

Adult classes 

It's never too late, no matter what your age,  martial arts can feed your mind, energise your body, give you a new interest, new challenges. Come along for a first night "free" session. 
 

Children's classes

​we offer classes for juniors (9yrs and above), fun and confidence building …if your child is interested in learning a traditional martial art please get in touch and ask about our beginner karate classes. 

Classes are  disciplined and friendly.

Instructors are CRB checked.

Annual membership includes person to person insurance. 

We are members of BMABA https://bmaba.org.uk/about-the-british-martial-arts-and-boxing-association-bmaba/
