IMPORTANT NOTICE โ€“ ARENA KARATE / ARENA KICKBOXING

We would like to inform you that, for the time being, there will be no Arena Kickboxing classes running in Colchester.

We would also like to clarify that Colchester Kickboxing Arena and the newly established Colchester Karate Arena are independent clubs and are not affiliated with or associated with Arena Karate or Arena Kickboxing.

Arena Karate and Arena Kickboxing continue to operate under their established organisation and branding.

Any future Arena Karate or Arena Kickboxing classes in Colchester will be communicated directly through Arena Karate.

We hope this clarification helps avoid any confusion for students, parents, members and the wider martial arts community.
