Who we are and what we do

We know the life-changing benefits that come from studying a martial art such as karate, and we know the confidence one obtains from being better prepared both physically and mentally for the world we live in.

Average Joe’s was created in order to provide busy people with quality martial art classes, that specialise in practical self-defence.

It’s a sad fact, but most karate and martial art centres are just in it to make money; expensive monthly fees, gradings, seminar, oversubscribed classes and “special courses” that will get you a black belt quicker. We call this type karate club a McDojo. Here at Average Joe’s, we want to re-establish what a karate club should be like, fun, friendly but above all, real.


How Average Joe’s is different

  • Average Joe’s classes are limited to a maximum of 20 people. 

  • Our gradings will never have more than 10 people at a time.

  • Our fees are clearly displayed on our pricing page.

  • Our instructors wear the same uniforms as our students.
