Training in the steel city since 2013…
Located next to Devonshire Green, Koutetsu is a martial arts club for people to train karate in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. We energetically focus on the technical development of striking, breaking down movements into clear steps that ultimately improve body autonomy and strong technique in the long term. We look to perfect the technique, improving body autonomy, and mental conditioning.
We practise Shotokan karate, one of the most popular styles of karate. The club is associated with the JKA (Japan Karate Association). You can find out more here: www.jka.or.jp/en/
We train in a purpose built dojo with matts, changing facilities and free car parking.
As of September 2025, the training times are:
Monday - 8pm - 9pm*
Tuesday - 8pm - 9pm
Thursday - 8pm - 9pm
Sunday - 6pm - 7pm
*Monday is an open-mat style of training where the dojo is available for self-training. If you are completely new to karate and martial arts, we recommend you contact us so an appropriate session can be arranged for you to join us.
Costs for training are: £5 (£3 concession) pay as you go or £30 (£25 concession) for the entire month. The first session is free.
