Wimbledon Karate Kyokushinkai

A great place for training under the living Legend Hanshi Steve Arneil. Team is very friendly and accomodation.Whether you are a total beginner or top athlete, this is the place to train and achieve your goal.Highly recommended!

Been with this club for 16 years (since I was 9) and they are such a friendly amazing bunch. The junior and senior sessions are brilliant and help provide anyone with an in-depth understanding of karate and self defence.Would definitely recommend training with them. If you join this club you will also be taught by the incredible Hanshi Steve Arneil (10th dan) who is the chief instructor of British Kyonkushinkai Karate. Who better to learn from!If you want to learn some self defence and the correct way to do the techniques I can’t recommend this club enough!

One of the best karate clubs in Britain. Run by Hanshi Steve Arneil (10th Dan). Proper Kyokushin the way it was taught in Japan. There are very few people still living who trained with Sosai Mas Oyama, the founder of Kyokushinkai, so it really is an honour to be able to train with Hanshi.Damon, Richmond.

Excellent teaching. Very friendly club. A mixture of fighting, self defence and traditional karate. Main instructor is Hanshi Steve Arneil (10th Dan), the protege of Sosai Oyama, founder of Kyokushinkai Karate.

A tremendous dojo with such a strong Budo spirit! Incredibly friendly and hard-working bunch of karatekas, ready to help out wherever possible. OSU!

I have been training here non stop since 1974 under Hanshi Steve Arneil who is still teaching twice a week today! It's a wonderful dojo with a world renowned instructor and great students.

Great atmosphere. This club is a fantastic, traditional karate Dojo with great heritage, history and one of the best teachers in the country. The kids class is good too.

Grait for kids. Very family friendly. My son started it four years ago and watching him I joined club is well.Although I am completely new I do not fell lonely or abandoned. There is very nice athmosfere inside and it's suitable for all ages and skills.

Can't recommend Wimbledon Kyokushinkai enough to anyone looking to learn a traditional yet highly practical martial art. The lead instructor, Hanshi Steve Arneil, is the world renowned pioneer of British Kyokushinkai. His experience is unparalleled and the opportunity to learn directly from him is an amazingly rare and rewarding one. The other senior black belts and instructors are also highly experienced but also very accommodating and friendly. I was nervous at first (having no martial arts experience), but I was immediately made to feel extremely welcome. Everyone is keen to help with any questions or issues you may have and there is a deep experience pool to learn from. Kyokushinkai karate itself is a highly practical martial art that is rooted in tradition. Excellent for anyone who is looking for a skill that they can use in real life situations but who also appreciates the discipline and fundamental principles of martial arts. Again can't recommend enough to both experienced martial artists and fresh faced beginners like myself.

Fantastic karate club; Hanshi Steve Arneil is a real master of his craft. There is a real friendly group that come to train making it a great learning environment.Expect to work hard, but come away feeling accomplished. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of trying out martial arts.Good transport links as well, only takes 30 mins from Waterloo.
