Who we are

About

We are a non-profit, family run, Karate Club, based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire led by Sensei Matt Johnson (3rd Dan Black Belt, World Champion).

We train for self improvement, self defence, and sport. Competing in traditional Karate (Kata and Kumite) and kickboxing (point fighting, light continuous, and kick light) disciplines.

Our overall focus is on practical application of Karate, through training the 3 Ks of Karate – Kihon (basics), Kata (and Bunkai application), and Kumite (sparring).

Our teaching style is fun, engaging and friendly, and is designed to encourage students to continue working and applying effort. We are always aiming for progression, not perfection.

Where do I start. After couple of Free lessons that club is offering for new people I decided to join and see how it will develop for me. So far so good. From the moment you enter the class you feel welcomed and part of the team. Matt and Flick are great instructors. I really like the layout of the classes mixing traditional Karate kata with some freestyle drills . I think it works really well. you will learn the moves and how to apply them in real situations.etc brilliantly explained by Matt. Great communication, making sure everyone is on the same page and everyone know what and when is happening. Over all highly recommended club … Go I use those 2 free classes to find out for yourself

The best thing I have done in a long time was walk into OKC Dojo! I joined 7 months after having a baby, they were so encouraging, pushed me the exact right amount and the before and after care was amazing. Not only has this been great for my physical and mental health, I have made friends and built a support network. If you are thinking about starting martial arts don’t hesitate in joing OKC! You will not regret it.

Absolutely the best hobby ever. Sensei Matt is way too kind and understanding and he makes sure everyone is safe and happy and not hurt. Senpai is also amazing as if do you get hurt (under rare circumstances) she sits down near you and comforts you.
