“Traditional karate for the modern world”
Doryoku Ryu is a traditional Karate Club that maintains the etiquette and tradition of Karate whilst teaching practical self-defence relevant to the situations of today.
Our club has an open minded philosophy on Karate, looking at the art as a whole! There are many different styles and theories, all of which are valid in Karate, we would not want to have to omit a technique or a concept because it belonged to another style, or be restricted to teaching in a particular way.
We teach what we believe: that karate is a complete self defence system that contains vital point-striking, kicking, joint locking and grappling.
Training in Karate also promotes fitness, flexibility, confidence and discipline. Students are welcome to train from the ages of 4 to 70.
We believe that there is something in Karate for everyone, whether you are young or old.
"Within Karate is the potential of a new person that has huge capabilities"
