DISCOVER THE ART OF KARATE
Hyo Gen Do Karate Club, founded in 1997, is based on the principles of Wado Ryu Karate, one of the four major styles of Japanese karate. This club, led by Sensei Steve Groom (5th Dan), emphasises not only the physical aspects of karate but also its philosophical foundations, which encourage personal growth, expression, and self-discipline.
We offer a modern approach to karate training, with a focus on applied karate for adults, and anti-bullying and personal development for children. Students are encouraged to express their individuality through martial arts, developing both technical skill and personal discipline.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Hyo Gen Do, meaning "To Give Expression to the Way", encapsulates our club's belief that karate is a path for individuals to explore their own potential.​
Our values — Expression, Belief, Integrity, Passion, and Harmony—guide every aspect of our instruction, ensuring a positive, supportive environment for personal growth.
