ClassesWilliams Karate Academy welcomes individuals aged 4 and above, regardless of their level of experience.

No special equipment is needed for the first class, but once committed to training, students can purchase a Gi (karate uniform) with a white belt from our online shop. As students progress, they will be graded and awarded different coloured belts to signify their level of expertise, with black belt being the highest achievement.
