Who we are
A typical training session!
KCL Karate was one of the first martial arts clubs at King's College! As a club we aim to cater to all levels, whether you're a beginner who wants to try something new or whether you want to be part of our competition squad. Our members have gone on to compete nationally and internationally, winning a number of medals at senior level. Our member's success has meant winning a number of King's Full Colours, Uni. of London Full Purples, and best sports person of the year awards.
In this club, we are passionate about helping students of all abilities be more healthy, fit and further their development while at university. This means we are not just a karate club. We have a number of programs to make your student life more safe, useful and enjoyable:
There are numerous weekly training sessions that all members are welcome to attend and a few specialist lessons with a more basic or more advanced emphasis.
We have regular socials and trips abroad to teach seminars, cultural exchange and to learn from world-renowned masters.
There are many training sessions throughout the year, even during the summer holidays.
