✨Meet Lindsey✨
“Hi, I’m Lindsey, founder and Head Coach at Bristol Women’s Karate.
I’ve been training in karate for over 30 years, hold a 5th Dan black belt, and have been fortunate enough to become a World Champion. But my greatest achievement is helping other women discover confidence and strength they never knew they had.
Believe it or not, I was once too nervous to walk into a karate class. At 14, I stood outside a dojo for an entire lesson, watching through the window because I didn’t have the confidence to go in. A few years later, I finally joined a brand-new beginners’ class (with my younger brother for moral support!)
That experience shaped the way I teach today. I know exactly how intimidating it can feel to be the new person, which is why I’ve created a friendly, supportive space where women can learn at their own pace, build practical self-defense skills, improve their fitness and grow in confidence.
You don’t need to be fit, confident or experienced to start.
You just need the courage to walk through the door.”
