Join Our ClassesAbout Wimbledon Karate Kyokushinkai
Kyokushinkai Karate was founded by the legendary Sosai Mas Oyama and is recognized worldwide as the original full-contact karate style. Mas Oyama's intensive training methods and philosophy revolutionized karate, emphasizing realistic combat ability alongside spiritual growth.
After training first in China and then under Mas Oyama in Japan where he became the first person after Sosai to complete the 100-man Kumite, Hanshi Steve Arneil travelled to England and established Wimbledon Karate Kyokushinkai in 1968. A 10th Dan who coached the British team to become the first non-Japanese squad to win the World Championship in 1975, Hanshi Arneil ran this club until his passing in 2021, ensuring authentic Kyokushin instruction rooted in the traditions he learned in Japan. Training at WKK means learning from the direct lineage of two legendary masters.
Whether you seek fitness, self-defense, confidence, or personal transformation, WKK welcomes all ages and abilities. Our instructors provide structured training in a supportive environment where beginners train alongside advanced students.
