Welcome to Ilkley Karate Club
Ilkley Karate Club is the longest running Karate Club in the local area. It is a friendly open club with a string of successes at international, national and local level competitions. We train at the Ben Rhydding Methodist Church four times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday mornings). We follow the Shukokai style of karate which in its very most basic translation means: ‘An association where people come together to study the martial arts', this is core to the focus of the club which encourages mutual-respect and coming together to learn
We would encourage anyone to try karate - it aims to develop: Character, humility, confidence, self esteem, self control, determination, and patience. No other physical discipline offers so much.
The art of karate also develops and enhances physical abilities that would take a multitude of sports to develop. Students improve balance, coordination, muscle tone, cardio-vascular conditioning, timing, rhythm, hand-eye coordination, hand-foot coordination, and flexibility...All that, and self defence as well. You won't learn most of this lifting weights or running on a treadmill at a gym.
Please browse the site which hopefully will answer many of your questions, but if not - please don't hesitate to get in touch
