GKKC: Gorton Kids Karate Club and Gorton Karate and Kobudo Club
Founded in 2005 GKKC has supported many students to achieve a black belt in karate over the years and Sensei Debs is especially proud of 3rd Dan Lexi Sahadeo and 2nd Dan Chloe Cope - both of whom started off training at GKKC as young children but are now sensei's themselves working alongside Chief Instructor Sensei Debs (5th Dan) and GKKC Lead Instructor Dan Corbet (2nd Dan).
GKKC provides the opportunity for children and adults to engage in a fun karate / self-defence class whilst helping to enhance fitness, confidence and increased personal safety. The club has a strong and positive community ethos; it promotes self-discipline and respect for self and others.
All lessons are taught by experienced, insured and qualified martial arts instructors and we have lessons on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Our youngest students are 5 years old, and our oldest member is 78! Feel free to visit Gorton Karate Club or look us up on Facebook
