COVID-19 UpdateWith current tier restrictions the re-opening of karate clubs are somewhat limited. All the risk assessments are in place ready for our reopening when such a time arises that our venues can accommodate us safely. I will update on the website when I have any further news. But, please be aware the government guidance requires some class changes. You will be made aware of these, via the website, when they can be finalised.

Driffield Karate Academy trains 3 times a week & new students are welcome at any of the training sessions.
The sessions are run as a mixed class with all ages and grading levels. Whether you are a newer white-belt or a seasoned black-belt the club encourages and assists in your continued development. We believe that training with others of a higher grade helps in mastering the required disciplines at various levels. That said, during lessons, similar grades are often grouped together to enable focused and relevant training towards grading criteria.
We want all of our students to enjoy karate and whilst there is no pressure to attend training sessions, students will find as they progress their training needs increase along with their attendance. Many students train once or twice a week whilst some attend all sessions.
