Welcome
Worcester Shotokan Karate Club (WSKC) is a non-profit making organisation affiliated to the International Japan Karate-Do Association (IJKA). We are a martial arts club dedicated to teaching traditional Shotokan karate.
Membership of WSKC offers students the opportunity of travel within the UK and worldwide to attend seminars held at other clubs affiliated to the IJKA.
Our Events page has a listing of IJKA seminars.
Shotokan karate is a disciplined martial art that requires dedication and hard work. We welcome anyone aged 12 or above, regardless of previous karate experience, or gender. You will be given detailed and sympathetic instruction, carried out in a systematic manner with due regard to the student's physical ability, placing maximum emphasis on student welfare to avoid injury.
New student’s wishing to learn karate do not need special clothing or equipment in the first instance - a tracksuit bottom and sweatshirt or similar loose clothing will be perfectly adequate. However a Keikogi (Karate training suit) should be acquired after a student has completed several weeks of regular training. We can assist our students in obtaining Keikogi at very reasonable prices.
Beginner's class details are posted here (Updated today).
