We pride ourselves on our inclusive and welcoming environment, where anyone who wants to learn karate is encouraged to join our classes.
At Meadowbank Karate Group, we understand that learning karate goes beyond physical training. It has been proven to increase confidence, which can be carried through to other aspects of life. Our experienced team of instructors is dedicated to providing quality coaching and support to help our members reach their full potential.
Our current team of instructors is led by Hamish Adam, Steven Adam, and Richard Bradley.

They have extensive experience in both competition and coaching, ensuring that our members receive the best training possible.

Richard Bradley, a 4th Dan black belt, began his karate journey with the Scottish Karate Federation in 1975. He has successfully competed in both Kata and Kumite locally and nationally. Richard's focus is now on coaching the next generation, helping them develop and achieve their goals.
