About
The founder and head instructor, Sensei Mark Beeby, holds a 7th Dan black belt in Wado Kai karate. With decades under his belt, he’s all about giving top-notch training to anyone keen on learning, no matter their age or skill level.
Tobi Ishi Kai Karate Worcester sticks to the Wado Kai style—a Japanese martial art focusing on efficient movement and practical self-defence. Classes, open to everyone aged 5 and above, roll out around Worcester. While the training environment is safe, it might not be ideal for the very young ones or those who find it hard to concentrate. Little kids should have an adult tag along.
At Tobi Ishi Kai, they believe karate is for everyone, no matter your fitness level or mobility. The instructors make sure it's a supportive and inclusive space where you can progress at your own pace. There are no military-style press-ups here; it’s all about building confidence, flexibility, discipline, speed, coordination, strength, and stamina. And let’s not forget—karate here is fun, respectful, and gives you that sweet feeling of achievement.
Members rave about their time at Tobi Ishi Kai. Parents watch their kids move up the ranks while getting in on the action themselves. Training as a family is a big deal and highly encouraged. Adult members love the friendly vibe, making it easy for anyone new to jump right in.
Newcomers can dip their toes in with a few free weeks of training before committing. The monthly fees won’t break the bank and are handled via standing order. If karate isn’t your thing, cancelling is a breeze.
For the first few sessions, just rock up in loose clothes like a t-shirt and jogging bottoms. Once you’re in, a karate suit (Gi) is part of the starter pack—£30 for kids and £35 for adults—so you’ll be geared up to keep going.
Under Sensei Mark’s guidance at Tobi Ishi Kai Karate Worcester, students will sharpen their martial arts skills, boost their fitness, and pick up some serious discipline and respect. Come join and experience martial arts at its best.
