Karate
Student Club
UoB Karate offers an inclusive and welcoming environment to learn and train karate throughout the year, no matter your ability.
We provide both opportunities for beginners to climb the grades, and to train in modern sport karate, where we provide many opportunities for members to compete in tournaments such as BUCS. As a club, we pride ourselves in having consistently maintained our top 3 position at BUCS for the 3rd year running, which is demonstrates the high standard of training we provide.
This, alongside the frequent and varied socials throughout the year, provides a special environment and a family away from home.
We train twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays) in guided sessions led by our both our head coach Mairi Kerin and our assistant coaches Becky Case and Amit Ubhi, with an extra session every other Saturday, where members are free to work individually.
