SO, WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS IN OUR KARATE CLASS?
If you've never been to one before, it can be difficult to know what to expect.

There's usually a bit of everything:
🥋Warm-up
🥋Kihon
🥋Partner work
🥋Kata
🥋Kumite: Sparring or Pad work
🥋And plenty of fun

You don't need to know any of it before you arrive. That's what the class is for. And no two sessions are exactly the same.

✨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.”

We’re back!

We’ve been a little quiet on social media lately…but not in the dojo! 🥋

Classes have been continuing every Monday, and we’re excited to start sharing more of what we do.

One of our students has kindly offered to help us with our social media, so you can expect to see more behind the scenes, student stories, training videos and information about our women’s karate classes over the coming weeks.

If you’ve ever thought about giving karate a go, stay tuned - we might just convince you 😃
