Our Mission Statement - "We aim to be first and foremost a respected and honourable Karate Club with a family atmosphere, that delivers quality instruction in effective self defence." - Sensei Matt Hickling & Sensei Andy Jackson
Junboku is pronounced "Jun-bok-coo" and means "Rustic Simplicity" or "Simple & Honest"
We chose this word to describe our Karate style as its meaning has so many connections with what we teach and what we believe in.
Simple - Meaning simple to learn but also simple to apply and make the technique work.
Honest - Relates to our honest approach to teaching techniques that work rather than just look nice.
The Karate we teach is a combination of the Chief & Senior Instructors experiences and takes elements from traditional Karate styles like Gojo-Ryu and Shotokan mixed with self developed techniques.
Junboku Karate Academy is a family based club that encourages all ages to train together but we also recognise the need to have Family Classes and Adult only classes too.
The Family Classes are aimed at everyone from 5 years old upwards. The classes are a balance of having lots of fun and working hard. Its great to see parents training alongside their children and work their way through their belts together.
The Adult Only Classes are aimed at two types of student. The Adult that likes the idea of training in Karate but feels uncomfortable being in a class of mixed ages. The second group of adults are parents that start to train with their Children and then want to push themselves harder, train more and in a more realistic manor.
We are a growing club with new classes opening monthly in locations across the West Yorkshire Area and beyond. These classes are based in Gyms, School Halls and Church Halls.
We also have a permanent Central Dojo!
