ABOUT OUR CLUB

Our Club was established by Sensei Charles and Sensei Dot Naylor in 1967 and we are proud to be affiliated to the KUGB (the Karate Union of Great Britain), the UK’s largest single style Karate Organisation.

​

Our Chief Instructors, Sensei Jane Naylor-Jones (6th Dan) and Sensei Richard Naylor-Jones (6th Dan), are Long Standing Members of the KUGB, qualified KUGB Instructors, Senior Assessors, and are fully DBS checked. They are supported by a team of qualified Black Belt Instructors.  Together we are committed to the highest standard of teaching.

​

Anyone from age 4 years old and upwards, with no upper age limit for adults, can start learning Karate with us. 

​

At Chelmsford Karate Club we stress the importance of true Karate spirit to our students and, to this end, emphasis is always placed on the development of the disciplines of Character, Sincerity, Effort, Etiquette and Self Control. It is because of this training that our students attain such high standards, both in and out of the Dojo.
