Ju Dachi Martial Arts Association

This martial art club is great for children. The teaching is excellent!

A very good martial arts organisation for adults and children alike. Two of my daughters, and two of my grand children are all members and enjoy these classes very much. You pay a monthly fee and then you can attend many of their classes at different location. You can attend once a week, twice a week, 3 times a week at different places, but pay only the one monthly price! The instructors (Sensei Jon and Sensei Patricia) are exceptional instructors who put an enormous amount of energy and effort in inspiring and pushing their students to achieve to their fullest potential. They are fair, but firm. I see a great improvement in my youngest daughters attitude to her karate and she really enjoys the whole experience of learning a martial art. As well as the training, the Sensei's also teach the students to keep fit, eat well, and improve their mind and to maintain focus and see things through to the end through perseverance. But this isn't just for the children, this is a very good organisation for adults as well to keep fit, learn a martial art, but also to push themselves beyond what they think they can achieve. Go along and they will give you a very warm welcome as they are always approachable and easy to talk to. They always make themselves available to talk, before or after classes and are never in a rush, but always give up their time with willingness. Thank you Ju-Dachi Martial Arts.Moreexpand_more

Fantastic best karate club around!

Jonathan Bolt runs an after school karate club at Fairways Primary School. It is quite evident that all the children thoroughly enjoy. Jonathan is very enthusiastic and has a good rapport with the children and parents. Sandra Bradley-Mason (Teacher at Fairways).

Convenient and modern premises in Peckham. The karate lessons are very good value for money. I attended a free lesson in London. This club offers lessons in London and Essex and I joined for the lessons held in Westcliff-on-Sea. Big hall at Trinity Methodist Church. Very good Shotokan Karate lessons. I do enjoy very much the self defence techniques, pair work and kata applications. I recommend this club for everyone who is genuine and interested in traditional karate.

Good self defense for adults, discipline and fun for children0 found this helpful. 5/5I visited Peckham Pulse centre, taking my 2 boys to a swimming lesson, when I saw Sensei Jonathan on his Karate uniform. He offered us a free lesson, and the 3 of us gave it a go. (They are offering 3 x2 ) It was very interesting. The lesson took part in a big hall, and it was split in 2. One female instructor teached the beginners and little ones, and Sensei Jonathan dealt with the adults and senior members. I found it very complete. Traditional Karate, self defence, exercise, combat. And lot of fun for the children. While I was training, I looked at my boys on the other side of the hall and they were happy kicking some pads. I was shocked how a little boy was counting in Japanese too! We decided to enrol, and we received some kung fu panda goodies too! I very much recommend this club, especially for families to train together. J.K.Moreexpand_more
