Feltwell Shotokan Karate Club

About

Based in Thetford, Norfolk, Feltwell Shotokan Karate Club is a martial arts club focused on the Shotokan style of karate. It is listed here for anyone in the area looking for a place to train in a traditional Japanese striking art.

Shotokan karate generally centres on strong stances, linear punches and kicks, and the practice of kata (set sequences of movements), alongside partner work known as kumite. Clubs teaching this style usually follow a coloured belt grading system, giving students clear goals as they progress. Many people take it up for fitness, discipline, confidence and self-defence skills, and it can suit a wide range of ages and abilities.
