Karate Do Shotokai Cardiff

Congratulations to everyone who graded at Cardiff KDS this week! 👏

3 of them will be joining us at Summer School in a few weeks, where you'll get the chance to train with them.

It was a busy evening with a fantastic turnout, and we're incredibly proud of everyone's efforts and achievements.

Thanks to everyone who came over to Penarth for a curry with me this week whilst I am still recovering from my operation. Very thoughtful of you all.

It was a very entertaining evening with some great laughs. Thanks to Chris Thomas for organising it. The first of many I think!

PS Finding a new button for photos on my phone proved enlightening!

Saturday training at our new venue!

With the extra space available at our new venue, we were able to split into groups and focus on different areas of training.

Our senior students spent some time working with the bo staff, using it as a tool to develop timing, distance, and the ability to get ahead of an opponent’s movement.

Meanwhile, the other group concentrated on improving the form and technique of their kicks.

To finish the session, we had some fun learning a bo kata. There was just about enough room for everyone to give it a go!

Great effort from all involved. 🥋👏

A trip down memory lane for some of our long-time members! Some things have changed - belts, hairstyles, venues - but the dedication to training remains the same.

*** BRAND NEW LOCATION ***

We have arrived at our Brand New Location at the Cardiff Martial Arts Academy, Norbury Road, Fairwater, Cardiff, CF5 3AU, and are looking forward to dynamic plyometric exercises on this new type of floor.

We can't wait to push our practice further and excel both personally and as a club with 31 registered members, of which 10 are KDS Black Belts and 3 are Black Belts from other styles. Together with a good range of new members of all adult ages and mid ability grades, our community practices are second to none.

A fantastic future awaits as we first prepare for the next club grading and then the Karate-do Shotokai Summer School in Aug 2026.

If you would like to experience our community, contact us. We train every Thurs 7pm and Sat 10am at this location and we offer a FREE first time taster session.
