shotokan karate JKA Academy Reviews 

Attending Karate classes gave my child not only physical strength, but also mental. She is more confident, respectful, helpful person, always looking forward to her lessons. I see only positive changes in my child and I am very happy for her.
A huge thank you to Sensei and all the coaches for teaching children and adults.
I would definitely recommend Karate classes for everyone.

My daughter absolutely loves her karate classes! She looks forward to every single session and comes home beaming with pride. The instructors are fantastic, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child’s progress. More than anything, these classes have done wonders for her confidence. It’s amazing to see how much she’s grown, not just in skill, but in self-belief and focus. We’re so grateful to have found such a positive, supportive environment, truly outstanding!

My son finds this a welcoming and efficient karate center and finds the sensei and sempai's nurturing and finds the lessons well planned. He also likes the way they teach and correct him and continues to train at home because of them. Definitely must go as it is an amazing experience!

I’m very happy that my children are attending the Shotokan Karate JKA. The instructors are very dedicated to the work they do.I highly recommend the Shotokan Karate JKA

My younger brother ( Zayan Islam) has been attending for the past few years and he is really enjoying it. He has learnt many new skills and he has progressed well, it encourages him to be more athletic and helps put a routine in for him. They are great teachers and have always been respectful and good to him!

Throughly enjoying my time at 'Shotokan Karate JKA Academy', highly recommending to anyone that wants to learn a new skill, a new talent, a new lifestyle!

Shotokan Karate has taught me balance (both physically and mentally) and self discipline, not to mention a greater confidence boost too!

Couldn't ask for a better Sensei or Sampai's to train under. I continue to be 'wowed' by their teachings and together, with my dedication and ambition, I will strive to become the best version of myself and karate student I can be!

I’ve had a fantastic experience with Shotokan Karate JKA Academy. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about traditional karate. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine advanced techniques, the training is structured, disciplined, and deeply rewarding.

The atmosphere is welcoming and respectful, with a strong sense of community amongst students. I have seen real progress not just in physical fitness and techniques, but also in confidence and focus. The academy’s commitment to authentic JKA standards is evident in every class.

Highly recommended for anyone serious about martial arts or simply looking to challenge themselves in a supportive environment!

Amazing trainer, so happy with how much I have learnt. Hightly recommend, honestly don’t even bother looking around for anyone else when you’ve got the best Sensei here.

Positive environment, totally recommend!

The instructor shows a deep knowledge of Shotokan karate and teaches with both passion and patience. They take time to support each student individually, making sure everyone progresses at their own pace. Their teaching style strikes the right balance between discipline and encouragement, creating a positive and motivating learning environment. I feel I’ve grown a lot under their instruction and would recommend them to anyone interested in karate.

Brilliant instructor just like the traditional shotokan in Japan. If you want your children to learn disciple as well as self defence this is the best place to go. The instructor is very talented and knows his stuff as well as listening to the aims of the children. Highly recommend this. The pricing is very decent too and gives you a free karate suit when you join. Thank you Sensei Sham

Brilliant karate teacher that not only delivers excellent teaching standards but also teaches discipline. The price is also fair highly recommend.

Instructor is a big lair and seems mentally ill.when he has no answer for his aggression and rudeness,he blames parents for verbal abuse and blames children for not focusing.
He shouted on my child in front of me and called her lair. He slammed door on my husband's face because we raised a concern about why did he shout on our child and gave her punishment in front of whole class.
He has anger issues and can not control his anger even if he tries.He has no patience at all.
He leaves the class happily when he has to meet a new parent to raise his business and doesn't bother about disturbing class.
Parents don't raise any concerns because they know he will not admit his mistakes and will shout on them as there is no other academy around,they feel helpless.
All the other good reviews are on demand because he keeps asking children go home visit website and write a good review.parents are waiting outside in chilly,windy,rainy or hot weather no arrangements at all.
He is lying about our child that she was not focusing or was disturbing class because he has no answer for being a bad instructor as everyone one knows there she is a bright student in karate, school and other fields.She never missed any belt till now, had never mistakes in any grading, won 4 medals in two competitions and she is very disciplined girl.

Went to speak to the instructor about my child. The instructor absolutely has no patience to listen, gets angry very quickly, blames child for everything and even calls them liars.
My wife went to speak to him today and he asks my wife to take the child to doctor and get her checked for ADHD. Very disrespectful attitude and although having no medical proficiency, labelled my child to have ADHD. Never ready to listen to any concerns from the parents, rather he simply asks parents to take their children out if anyone raises any questions. I am not sending my child back to this unsafe environment managed by such an aggressive person.

Just tried this school after taking my son to a different karate club in Bushey where he had a very bad experience. This school is very much more safe and professional and their sensei and instructors are brilliant. Don’t waste your time or money at any other school, for us it is worth the longer drive to attend here

I feel good when I am at karate. The sensei is helpful and the sempais, I love karate and I am learning new things every time.

We tried them and they only wanted to take the money after a try.
