When we first began over 5 years ago some students are still going strong 💪🏼
It’s amazing how far we have come, and how much we’ve grown.
It’s a privilege to have such a great positive impact on our students.
We now have a fantastic team of instructors who all work in there own unique way but the outcome and passion remains the same 💯 dedication time and effort put into each an every student 🤗

🥳🥳🥳 well done Shaw ladies team …
we are very proud sponsors these girls are on 🔥

SHAW LADIES ARE CHAMPIONS AGAIN!

Shaw CC are the first ever GMCL Women's and Girls Championship Winners!

After this week's victory for the ladies over Leigh CC, that has cemented their place at the top of the league table for good!

The team still have two games left to play, but are currently un-catchable, with a 7 point lead.

Across 14 games the team only lost 2. Showing their strength and determination throughout. This win also comes off the back of more success over the winter. With the team winning the indoor league, and more recently winning an international tournament in Malta!

The future is looking bright for the team, and i'm sure you can all join the club in congratulating this fantastic set of Ladies.

Well done all 💛💚

🥋 What Makes Our Instructors Different?

You won’t find a more supportive, knowledgeable and professionally trained team of instructors!

Did you know that being a black belt isn’t a qualification to teach?

That’s why all of our instructors continue to develop their knowledge and skills by attending advanced training courses. Our instructors hold NVQs and recognised qualifications in teaching Karate and self-defence, all have DBS checks, and we are proud to be part of a world-recognised affiliation.

We believe that being a great martial artist and being a great instructor are two very different things — and our team is committed to being both.

🥋 Qualified
🛡️ DBS Checked
📚 Continually Trained
🌍 World-Recognised Affiliation
❤️ Supportive & Professional

So, if your club doesn’t offer this level of training, qualification and safeguarding, perhaps it’s worth asking why not?

When it comes to your training, development and safety, you deserve the very best.

Don’t just choose a black belt. Choose a properly trained instructor. 🥋
