Our style of karate comes from "the land of the rising sun" Japan. It encompasses all that is good. It is not, as many people think, a form of aggression. It is the very opposite. Our aim is to make Karate a means of helping others in times of stress. To defend family and friends, to control the power learned and channel it to do good. Never to make the first attack and to show respect to others at all times.
We believe it is not enough for someone just to obtain a black belt and to start
teaching. It requires an understanding of human nature and consideration of
peoples needs, be it teaching adults or children.
We offer a world of opportunity for improved mental and physical health which can be gained from a quality karate club such as ours. Our training opens the doorway to building greater self-confidence. The benefit of self-defence is obvious, but it is only a small part of what can be gained. Our style of karate builds stamina, strength, flexibility, and coordination. People can also learn and develop calmness, greater alertness, patience, and self-discipline.

How to improve your confidence and face up to the bullies at school and in the streets.
Discover our amazingly easy "step by step" self defence system with tremendous success in changing a child's or an adults life for the better Thousands now have a better and happier future through spending an hour or so at one of our classes since we started teaching more than 30 years ago
Lets face it ..... most children need help and support through the difficult "growing up" periods of their lives and many adults need to be reassured at some point in their lives and we are here to help them through these troublesome times. A persons entire life could depend on this support and without it your child can so easily go astray and follow the bad examples of their peer groups
Discover the secrets of our success by enrolling yourself and/or your child in one of our 4 week introductory beginners courses.
It only costs £15 for children or £18 for adults ( one lesson is built in free and so is the insurance).

We are delighted to welcome Adults as well as Children to SJK Karate as new Students. As we always like to get to know our students, it goes without saying that with us you will not just be a number, but a vital part of our martial arts school, which means you will be treated like all the rest of our students - like one of the family! We like to give our students the best possible chance to succeed and make a point of believing in them. Because of this we are known as "the friendly club"
Do you want to learn one of the most exciting Martial Arts in the world, which includes - Shotokan Karate and "Street style"Self Defence. Our adults and karate kids (known as "Young Dragons") can grade up to and including black belt in our North London Dojo's.
It is also a wonderful way to "Keep Fit"
Our style of karate has all the benefits of kickboxing and Taekwondo with none of the dangers, as we use light contact only. You won't be disappointed if you join us. We have a lot of students who come to us from other clubs and they are surprised at the high level of our tuition.
NB. Please contact us before attending a class as some of our classes are now full. We do not like to overload our classes as we feel it is not fair to the students as they will not receive the tuition they need to advance properly in an overcrowded class. We aim never to have less than two qualified black belt instructors in a class.
A STYLE OF KARATE THAT IS NOT JUST FOR CHILDREN!
KARATE 4 KIDS AND KARATE 4 ADULTS - OVER 30 YEARS AT THE TOP!
One of the reasons that the School of Japanese Karate is so good for adults and children is because unlike most other forms of exercise the brain is exercised at the same time as the body. Thinking while you exercise keeps the brain alert and fit.
The MARTIAL ARTS moves that are learned at SJK are imprinted in the mind by practicing over and over again. Not only does this exercise both the body and the mind but because the moves become "second nature" you will respond to surprise attacks in the street.
This also keeps the mind and the body in good condition for old age. Many people, both men and women, continue training in this style of martial art well into their sixties, seventies and even eighties, practicing at a pace suitable to them.
If you trained in karate when you were younger (at SJK or any other karate club) and you would like to get back to training contact Shihan David Alleyn 6th Dan Chief Instructor SJK. Shihan David being of mature years himself understands the need to complete something later in life that was started at a younger age and will do all he can to help.
School of Japanese Karate have many black belts who have returned to training in later life after a long lay-off, some gaining their black belts in their fifties and sixties. They also have a number of girls and boys who obtained their black belts in their teens and one at the tender age of nine.
Also only available from the School of Japanese Karate is a unique DVD for beginners from their "Karate Made Easy"series.
Highly Recommended

Why start karate with us?
Karate and self defence the SJK way is a valuable tool for children and adults to give them the confidence they need when confidence is lacking. It helps them overcome difficulties at school, on the streets or in the work-place, which are generated by this problem. Children and adults at the School of Japanese Karate are taught etiquette and how to respect one another. SJK children are not allowed to be "out of control" or to "run wild" they learn discipline which will help their conduct during classes as well as at home, all while having fun. Not all martial arts clubs do this!
Warming up exercises are enjoyed as they are used to get the muscles ready for action in a gentle way. Defensive blocks are taught to enable them to defend any attack. Punches and kicks are taught in a controlled way. Shotokan katas are taught to enable a quick response when needed and fluidity in movement, as well as being a great form of exercise
A study published by "Heart" indicates that people who took up exercise after the age of 40 cut their chances of coronary heart disease by more than half, compared with those who remained inactive

Harry went from being a beginner to becoming a karate black belt all while still a student in junior school. He accomplished this with the Enfield/North London School of Japanese Karate's "step by step" martial arts training system in "Young Dragons" karate and is now UK's Karate Kid, You too can become a black belt with the School of Japanese Karate - it is important that you have our "step by step" martial arts training system in karate which is completely revolutionary. You will be excited to do it! There is a catch - we only want serious students. Not many clubs grade juniors to black belt.
