Welcome to Thames Karate Association
Thames Karate Association is a martial arts association focused on traditional shotokan karate training, promoting discipline, respect, and self-defence skills.
Welcome to the Thames Karate Association website. We are a well established association founded in the 1970s, training across South London and the South East. Here you will find a dedicated group of people training in the Shotokan style of this Eastern martial art. The commitee and instructors bring decades of experience and knowledge into the dojos, making the study of karate not only worth while, but enjoyable.
A Karateka (student of karate) will focus on kihon (basics), kata (form/pattern) as well as kumite (freestyle fighting). Students will be invited to grade and take part in competitions - local and national, throughout the year.
