Karate club for the whole family. Welcome to Evolution Karate Academy (EKA).

Evolution Karate Academy was established by Head Instructor Leonie Kersey.

EKA teaches a mix of karate styles, the main being Korean karate. Korean karate was originated by combining the arts of Wado Ryu and Taekwondo. The syllabus has been adapted to also include some of the Shotokan style. I believe each style has its strengths and therefore combined will give the student a great all round art of karate.

Evolution Karate Academy is a member of the Alliance Karate Ass

While many people have been enjoying the beautiful weather and half-term break, five of our athletes have spent the last two days at an intensive fight camp as part of their preparation for the upcoming World Championships in Romania.

The camp covered karate-specific fitness and speed training, technical and tactical development, competition scenarios, and the setup and ex*****on of sweeps and takedowns. Athletes also benefited from a session with a sports psychologist, focusing on the mental side of high-level competition and performance.

Experiences like this are invaluable in helping our athletes continue to develop both on and off the tatami, and we’re incredibly proud of the commitment they continue to show in pursuit of their goals.

A huge thank you to Luke Cuthbert for the invitation and for putting together such a fantastic event.

As our athletes continue their journey towards representing their club and country on the world stage, we are always looking for sponsorship opportunities. Competing internationally comes with significant travel, accommodation, and competition costs, and support from local businesses or individuals can make a huge difference. If you or your business would be interested in supporting our athletes and being part of their journey, please get in touch.
