Karate - Do Shotokai (KDS) club

A very friendly and welcoming club, teaching a relaxed style of karate so you can start (or continue) your martial arts journey.Everybody welcome no matter what their fitness level. Training here will improve your fitness, mobility and fighting skills. Give it a go what is the worst that can happen?

It has given me ever increasing confidence. Also it greatly helps with my mental health and related issues due to my Autism. The club and wider KDS are like one big family to me and my father who is training at 73.

I've trained with the club for many years - very friendly, with a great mix of ages and abilities, including the post 40's people like myself. I've learnt a lot of practical karate and it definitely keeps me fit!

If you want to learn Karate and are based in Cardiff or the surrounding area come on down & join the KDS!The community at the club is amazing - Everyone is massively supportive of each other, and really welcomed me as a new member.The instructors are superb, as leaders and teachers of the club. Their guidance is brilliant and they will push you to be your absolute best whilst offering great advice and support.The training is awesome! It’s tough sometimes, but nobody said learning Karate was easy! I was pretty unfit when I started but I’ve progressively improved over the months since joining and have lost weight, and improved my physical and mental health.The first lesson is free so come and give it a try, whether you want to learn a martial art, get fit, meet new friends or improve your mental health, it’s definitely worth joining.Hope to see you there!

Fantastic club. Great people, and a very high level of instruction and training.

KDS Cardiff provides such a supportive and friendly atmosphere to learn a martial art. Great for keeping fit, learning a new skill, and for meeting new people. I joined after having no previous interest in sport, and loved it right from the first session.

I have done lots of different karate styles such as wado, kyokushinksai, TKD. I think KDS is the best. Friendly atmosphere, great teachers and very practical. No competition - just skill and effectiveness

I've been a member of KDS Cardiff for just over a year and I have to say it is a very good karate club, very welcoming and an excellent level of training. Really good for your fitness levels as well...
