Testimonials

As a club member you become part of the Zetsurin family and will be supported by your Senseis and fellow students as you embark on your Karate journey. We look forward to travelling with you!

"My son Samuel had seen Zetsurin do a demonstration at his school and expressed an interest in trying karate. Whilst observing his first lesson I too was interested in trying the sport and was encouraged to have a go. My youngest son Harry has also started karate, initially with the Ninja's and now with the regular classes. We all enjoy karate so much that we attend classes on a weekly basis. The club is friendly and relaxed with a strong sense of respect and discipline that is expected in the dojo. All the instructors are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Karate has given both boys confidence whilst having great fun at the same time. "
Mark Dunn - Otley U.K.

"I started karate when I was 11 after seeing a demonstration at my primary school. I went to try it out that very same night and loved it, they were ever so welcoming and kind. Now I am 15, a 1st Dan black belt instructor and still look forward to it every week. As well as the extra events like competitions and fun karate camps they provide. After trying a lot of sports and activity's karate is one of the few that I have enjoyed and loved so much that I have stuck with it and the instructors help with that so much. Its a great way to increase fitness, confidence and discipline. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something different."
Sam Graham - Otley U.K.

"I am now 14 years of age but started karate when I was 12. Since then I have progressed from a white belt with no knowledge of Karate to a blue belt with enough knowledge to help me win the club Kata Senior Shield. I was very lucky to win this and I am very proud. Karate is a sport that can boost your confidence massively, and since taking up the sport I feel a lot safer knowing I could defend myself if I was put in a life threatening situation."
Catie Pine - Otley U.K.

"I have been training at Zetsurin with my 12 year old daughter for about two years. My daughter was an absolute beginner to Martial Arts whilst I had dabbled with other styles in my early 20’s. Now at 49 years of age Karate has given me a great level of fitness which I didn’t think I would achieve again. All the Sensei’s are patient and really let you go at the pace you are comfortable with. The club has a friendly family atmosphere and I think it’s a great way to gain confidence and a good level of fitness at whatever age you happen to be."
Richard Keal - Otley U.K.

"All the senseis at Zetsurin run a fantastic Karate club. There is a friendly atmosphere as soon as you enter the room. The children take part in a range of activities that encourage a healthy body and mind. The students are taught to challenge themselves in a warm and supportive environment. My daughter, who trains in the ninja class, is developing her confidence and a sense of her own personal power- whilst having fun at the same time! I highly recommend Zetsurin Karate Club."
