“I can't recommend Average Joe's highly enough!”

As a complete beginner to the world of karate and self-defence, they took the time to ensure I could follow the Sensei's instructions move for move. One instructor took me to one side for one-to-one guidance whilst the other made sure the rest of the class weren't getting bored - nobody is left behind. I love the structure of the sessions, being wide and varied, it all flows really well. I can't recommend Average Joe's highly enough!”

“I feel like I worked hard and achieved something”

It's great to learn how to fall properly and learn self-defence. I feel like I worked hard and achieved something.

“We train hard every lesson and leave nothing on the mats”

From the first session, I was blown away by the professionalism and dedication shown from the instructors of Average Joe’s Karate and Self-Defence. Sempai Andy is a class act in the sections that he instructs in regards the self-defence techniques and floor work. Sensei Paul is an amazing instructor with so much passion that we as students respond to wholeheartedly. Sensei Nev sets and demands the high standards from everybody who walks through the doors.

We train hard every lesson and leave nothing on the mats, and for me personally I have fallen back in love with Karate and even though I am a 2nd Dan, it feels like I’ve been stripped back to basics to improve and to continually strive for 3rd Dan and beyond. I hope to emulate my Sensei’s in becoming one myself when the time is right for everybody involved in Average Joe’s Karate and Self-Defence.

“It feels amazing to get rid of any tension after a stressful day!”

I love to do HIIT workouts and attend classes at the gym, but I found Average Joe’s offered me a different kind of training that I didn’t realise I needed. I feel like I’m building a different kind of strength and power and it's also a great release, mentally. When you’re on the mat, you’re so involved that the 90 minutes just flies by and it feels amazing to get rid of any tension after a stressful day!
