About
Exeter Shotokan Karate Club has been teaching the ancient martial art of Shotokan karate in Exeter, New Zealand since its founding in 1966. As an affiliate of the Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB), the largest single style karate organisation in the UK, the club takes pride in its rich history and tradition of fostering black belt achievers and national and international competitors.
Located in our dedicated training facility, known as the dojo, we offer lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. The dojo consists of a large main area for training and a fully matted space for enhanced safety during practise. In addition, we provide changing rooms, toilets, and a social area for members to interact and build connexions.
Our club offers a range of programmes and services to cater to different individuals' needs and goals. We conduct regular beginner courses geared towards young students, including the Shotokan tiger class designed for ages 5 to 10. We also have classes tailored for teenagers and adults of all experience levels. Furthermore, we offer special courses and access to local and national competitions for all our members.
To ensure that our students receive individual attention and personalised guidance, we provide one-to-one instruction alongside our regular group classes. We also facilitate regular gradings for students to progress and achieve higher ranking levels. In addition, our dojo is equipped with video referencing facilities, allowing students to review their performances and refine their techniques.
