Central Karate Schools are proud to be affilliated directly to the English Karate Federation.
 

Central Karate Schools was established in 1992, by Steven and Selina Moore specialising in teaching karate to children from five upwards, and adults. Central started off with just one small club in Walsall and has now expanded to many areas of the West Midlands and Staffordshire.

Central have a team of highly trained Karate Instructors who are all, 1st Aid Qualified, Enhanced CRB Checked, and are Minimum Level 3 English Karate Federation coaches.

Central specialise in teaching karate to children five and above, classes are exclusively for children. Adults are welcome we offer several classes which over 16's can attend.

Central will always strive to offer a safe friendly environment to train in, offering the best coaching skills to its students. In return the student will be expected to conduct themselves in a courteous manner, respecting the training area, sensei, fellow students and parents at all times.

Central are very proud to have had students selected for the:

Selina & Steve also travelled to Tokyo, Japan for the Wado Kai World Cup in 2005
Lyle Moore fought in the Japanese Nationals in Tokyo 05

Rowdiness, a bad attitude and over zealous fighting will not be tolerated, all students will be taught to control themselves and to always think of how their actions can affect others.

Bullying both verbal and physical will be dealt with severely, and will result in loss of membership. On completion of the fourth week of training, if the student is suitable they will have the opportunity to become a full member of Central karate schools.

A licence form will be issued to each new student, on becoming a full member which will affiliate the student to Central Karate Schools who are affiliated to the English Karate Federation.

 

There are no false promises given, your child will become a competent karateka if they train regularly, students will learn to be more assertive and will receive high quality tuition to reach their martial art potential.

Students are expected to practice in their own time to pass their gradings and will only move forwards in their karate training by working hard in the classes, attending courses, listening to their sensei and following their advice.

All students have to train for a minimum of five years to be eligible for a Black belt 1st Dan grading. Students who are fourteen and above who, continue to train twice weekly and attend courses and tournaments will be entered for their 2nd Dan grading. Students have to be over 18 to be considered for a 3rd Dan

Parents are welcome and encouraged to watch the classes at any time.

Central cater for all abilities of student, many children who lack confidence, or who are bullied or may have learning difficulties attend classes on a regular basis and train alongside their friends and grow in confidence gradually through the training and grading process.

In the past eighteen years central have had three hundred and one students pass their Black belt 1st Dan, and fifty six students pass their 2nd Dan. Central Karate Schools are affiliated to the EKF.
