Welcome to the Yateley Shotokan Karate Club website.

The Yateley Shotokan Karate Club was established in November 2001 and teaches beginners and more experienced karateka (practitioners of karate) karate-do in a friendly and enthusiastic environment.

The martial way of Karate has been passed down from generation to generation never losing sight of its origins. Shoto-kan (or house of Shoto, Shoto is the name Gichin Funakoshi used as a poet and writer) karate is as traditional today as it was when Funakoshi first developed it and demonstrated it to the western world and is still as useful as ever in today’s stressful lifestyle.

Its self-defence techniques are not to be taken lightly either! Karate is an excellent all-round exercise enhancing physical fitness (through aerobic and anaerobic exercise), confidence and mental health promoting a sense of well being in those who practice it.

There is no criteria for joining, just the wish to learn karate.
