Leicester Karate Club, the oldest, established karate club in the UK. 1966-present.
Established in 1964 we are the United Kingdom's oldest established karate club. Shotokan Karate is the main karate activity but in recent years with the strong relationship with Isamu Arikaki 10th Dan in Okinawa, Shorin Ryu Karate is also practiced. We are proud of our history and heritage and continue to strive for excellence in this dynamic martial art.
