After a serious back injury playing rugby league, I began my career in martial arts at the age of 16. Since then, I have sought to find the most holistic approach to training, both in martial arts, yoga and personal training. I've worked with individuals and businesses to develop training regimes and long term solutions for those with ailments and injuries.
Classes range from beginners and White Belts, through to experts and Black Belts. Choosing the right class for you or your child can be confusing however, I always encourage you to do "what you can" and forget about keeping up with others. This is your body.

As an 8th Dan Karate Master and 3 times World Karate Full Contact Champion (1992, 1993, 1996), Yoga Instructor, and Personal Trainer, I'm encouraged by what the body can achieve when we put our minds to it. Karate is one of the more popular forms of martial arts and allows it's participants to develop discipline, self-confidence, meditiation, and strength of mind, body and character.

Fantastic experience, I was able to improve my techniques and evolve my body, soul and mind.
I learned and continue to learn in each class. Karl Aykiffe Sensei's knowledge is amazing!
He was a world champion in 3x Karate.
Real karate.
Direct connection to Okinawa and updating techniques. Attention to detail, black belts helping everyone else, there is no such thing as "being superior" we share knowledge.
I could write days and days and it would not be enough to describe all the benefits that training with Karl Sensei has brought to my life and my history ....

The outstanding wealth of knowledge, encouragement, compassion and dedication that goes into the classes here have made it one of the most valuable experiences I've ever undertaken.
Classes where you're actually paid attention to and not just a number. A true sense of community.
This place has such a welcoming environment and quickly make you feel like you're part of a family and community.
I feel so grateful that such an experienced and esteemed teacher such as Karl is so accessible in location and charges so reasonably in comparison to most gyms, dojos and studios in the area for the value
