Jim and Andrew Daly run a top-notch karate club at Bridgwater Bushi Karate Club, tailored for anyone over 8. They both have 7th Dan Black Belts in Wado Ryu Karate and bring over 68 years of combined experience to the dojo. Plus, they’ve got all the right checks in place to keep everyone safe.
Their training facility in Victoria Park Community Centre is fully equipped and perfect for diving deep into your karate practice. Jim and Andrew make sure everyone, whether new or experienced, takes an assessment to kick things off at the right level.
Karate training here boosts your fitness, strength, flexibility, and coordination. It’s great for your heart, balance and overall body awareness. Plus, it helps build discipline, focus, and self-confidence, while honing self-defence skills – and you get to be part of a supportive community.
The club is linked to the British Wadokai and the International Wado Federation, giving members a chance to join a wider network and take part in more events and competitions.
Training focuses on Kihons (basic techniques), Kata (set forms), and Kumite (sparring), so you’ll get a well-rounded karate experience. The grading system is classic and thorough, helping members progress from Yellow Belt to Black Belt in a structured way.
Interested in joining? You can find all the info you need on their website or get in touch to visit the dojo. Bridgwater Bushi Karate Club offers a welcoming and safe spot to learn Wado Ryu Karate, grow personally, and meet like-minded folks, all under the guidance of Jim and Andrew.
