About
Barry Coles, the driving force behind the Essex Group of Uechi-Ryu Karate Clubs in Brentwood, Essex, invites you to transform your game. Since 1986, Barry has been committed to teaching Uechi-Ryu Karate across Basildon, Billericay, Rayleigh, and Wickford.
Joining one of Barry's classes means embracing a martial art that mimics the powerful movements of animals like the crane, tiger, and dragon. Uechi-Ryu Karate isn't just about self-defence; it's about fitness and confidence, and it's open to everyone, regardless of age or gender.
As part of The Okinawa Karate Association U.K., and with ties to the Okinawa Karate-Do Association in Japan, Barry ensures his teaching honours the traditional practices of Uechi-Ryu Karate. This lineage goes back to Kanbun Uechi, who brought this incredible style from China to Japan and passed it down through generations.
Barry's classes support all skill levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned martial artists.
