Essex KDS - Karate-do Shotokai martial arts club in Harlow, Essex

Welcome to the website of the Harlow, Essex KDS group. Karate-Do Shotokai (KDS) is a traditional karate style which focuses purely on the practice of karate as a martial art.

We run a friendly, social club where questions are encouraged and everyone is allowed to get the very best out of themselves – all in the spirit of developing quality karate practitioners. If you want to find out more then come along to one of our regular weekly practices. Our sessions are open to men and women of all ages and abilities.

Our instructors are all highly experienced and qualified and we run a small club to ensure every student gets direct, personal practice with us each and every lesson. Our senior instructor, 4th Dan Adrian Quick has taught Karate in Harlow since 1989.

The first lesson is free and no previous experience is required. All you need to practise is a t-shirt and tracksuit trousers! All are welcome!

Various congratulations for the club

It's always nice to reward hard work within the club and at last night's club session we got to do it three times.

So congratualtions are in order for Ben Puckey who graded up to 3rd Kyu (Green) and Helen Smith who is now 5th Kyu (Yellow).

And also a big well done to Ben Redwood for a stonking array of A's and A*'s in his GCSEs. Who was it that said that KDS was the thinking man's karate again?
