Sandokai karate

Join Sandokai Karate in Helston, Cornwall and step into the world of traditional martial arts with the legendary Robin Whale, who’s been kicking since 1969! This club isn’t just any club; it's Cornwall’s first-ever karate dojo, blending the old-school discipline with modern sports training techniques. It’s where tradition meets science, with influences from Sport Science, Psychology, Biomechanics, and Plyometrics.

Sandokai, or the "School of Three Ways", guides you through Kihon (drills), Kata (patterns), and Kumite (sparring), offering a comprehensive approach rooted in Japanese karate. But don’t expect an easy ride – belts here are earned, not given. Robin Whale and his experienced instructors will be with you from your first step to your last, ensuring a journey of lifelong learning.

The instructors are top-notch, fully licensed, insured, and DBS-checked, with some of the most experienced in the South West. Plus, they’re all trained in First Aid, offering a safe and professional environment for everyone.

A proud member of the Federation of English Karate Organisations, Sandokai has been a staple in Cornwall since 1978, known for its quality instruction. During the pandemic, the club swiftly adapted to outdoor training, always keeping safety in mind and following all local regulations.

Thinking of joining? Make sure to contact the club first due to limited space and social distancing protocols. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned martial artist, Sandokai Karate has a structured programme to help you grow.
