© 2007 Colchester Karate Academy
All our classes (except for the Adult only Early Bird Classes on Friday mornings), take place in our full time customised karate Dojo in the centre of Colchester. We are conveniently located on bus routes and walking distance from the town centre and main train stations. The Adult only Early Bird Class takes place 6.40am on Friday mornings across the road from our main Dojo at Colchester Leisure World
Our 3000 square foot unit includes a training area, changing rooms, washrooms, viewing gallery, Martial Arts shop and a separate nursery (the latter is not currently in use). You can buy all your equipment, uniforms, and all sorts of gifts, toys, videos and books from our Martial Arts shop. Our private offices are upstairs.
Our public viewing area is immediately inside the entrance to our premises as we welcome all visitors who would like to see what we have to offer. This room includes seating area, toys, books, and a TV with Video/DVD player for use by those waiting whilst their children/partners are training.
We also have plenty of dedicated parking spaces in front of the unit.
Here are some photos of what our training venue looked like at the beginning of October 2007 (before we moved in) and what it looks like now. See our gallery for more photos.
