Shinka Karate

Classes are run by Richard Telford-Nicholson, a University of Hertfordshire alumni who took up karate to support his qualification as a stunt actor. With years of experience in gymnastics, trampolining and many extreme sports, Richard brings energy and enthusiasm to every lesson. We provide a focused introduction aiming to create a comfortable environment for complete beginners to pick up the basics whilst increasing their fitness levels. We follow a structured program to ensure all essential elements are covered for the progression of the student, whilst allowing you to find your own areas of preference within the art.

We work with you to make sure you get the most out of your time with us. Monthly seminars with the Hombu club are also available to students. These provide an unmissable opportunity to further your skills and give you an insight into the more advanced levels.
