Black Scorpion Karate Club, located in Wigan, is a family-owned and operated Shotokan club that prioritises inclusivity and personal growth. The club aims to create a supportive environment where individuals of all ages and abilities feel welcomed and empowered.
As a new member, you are invited to enjoy a complimentary introductory week, providing a risk-free opportunity to experience the benefits of karate without any financial commitment. The club's payment system allows for flexibility, with the option to pay as you train until your first grading, ensuring you can engage with karate at a pace that suits you.
Understanding the importance of family bonds and the joy of practising karate together, Black Scorpion Karate Club offers heavily discounted licences and class fees for members of the same family, making it easier for families to embark on their martial arts journey together.
In addition to regular classes, the club provides an optional extra for those interested in further challenges. They have an international tournament team that all students are welcome to join if they choose. This team offers an exciting opportunity to showcase skills, compete with other talented practitioners, and represent the club on a global stage. However, participation in the tournament team is entirely optional, and there is no obligation for any student to join.
Joining Black Scorpion Karate Club means becoming part of an extended family. The club celebrates each student's individual journey and is committed to their growth, well-being, and enjoyment of karate, regardless of their age or experience level. Taking the first step with the club means embarking on a fulfilling martial arts adventure.
Black Scorpion Karate Club is a member of Cobra Martial Arts Association (CMAA) and works closely with Sensei Tracey Drain and her club Cobra Karate Manchester. Within their structured lessons, they teach all the elements of karate, including strikes, blocks, kicks, Kumite (sparring), stances, movement, and kata. Each element is equally important and builds together to create the full picture of karate.
