If I can do it then so can you!
I started about a year ago as an overweight 50 year old with no experience.

I now train 3 times a week! I have lost weight and feel fitter than I have for years.

Sensei Toby and the other instructors provide a friendly, welcoming and inclusive training environment and there are a great bunch of students (and a thriving social scene for those who are interested)!

If you are bored with the gym and need a way to get fit and learn something new then please come and give it a go!

I have been learning karate at Invicta for just over a year. My son was already attending and they invited parents to a 4 week beginner adults course. I was hesitant, not knowing what to expect. It was one of the best decisions I made. From the start I was made to feel welcome, everyone is treated equally regardless of belt colour and everyone is invited to social events and nights out.

Karate is one of the best ways to get/keep fit and improve flexibility, coordination, balance and stamina. But anyone of any fitness or strength can join, they will always take into account your capabilities and work with you to improve.
When you are in class you don’t think about anything else, so it is an amazing way to switch off from the stresses of life and everything else going on, for this reason it is surprisingly good for your mental health.

The senseis are not just teachers but national champions and former England members. They will encourage you to enter competitions but there is no pressure to win, it is about the experience and taking part.

Since joining Invicta I have found myself doing moves and sequences I never dreamed I would be able to do. I have significantly improved my fitness, balance and fitness but have also met people from all walks of life who I would not normally have the opportunity to meet. I am so glad I decided to give it a go.

Invicta Karate Academy is great. My daughter started to go once a week and now she attends 3x a week. She loves it and said if she could she would go to karate every day so I think that says it all 😅. I can highly recommend this academy for anyone who want to try karate and boost up their confidence.

Been training here for 8 months now after moving from London as a 1st Kyu, great dojo with a super atmosphere. Classic Japan Karate Association affiliated club with excellent instructors in form of Sensei Toby (4th Dan) and Sensei Adel (6th Dan). Highly recommend Invicta, suitable for all ages and levels! 🥋 oss

I have been training with Invicta for a year, joining with two of my children - who initially attended a holiday Karate course. Under a close supervision of dedicated Sensei (teacher(s)) I soon learned some basic moves, stances and katas. A team of professional, highly motivaed, certified instuctors provides a thorough guidance, with an individual approach - building on each student's strengths and giving detailed feedback on the areas of their development. All this makes each training session valuable and informative - almost as if training with a personal trainer. The instructors build a fantastic rapport with children. My daughters both immensely enjoy each session and, apart from learning the techniques of the martial arts, learn how to respect the teachers, follow instructions, and treat others with respect and kindness - all the key tenets of Shotokan Karate. Speaking from my personal experience, Karate gave me greater mobility, flexibility, strength, improved sense of balance, higher endurance, stamina, regaining the correct BMI (by loosing 15kg of weight) - I could go on and on. There is so much more to Karate than its physical benefits. After becoming a victim of hit a run motor accident, the training sessions allowed me to regain self-confidence and eliminate the fears and trauma associated with that experience. When joining Invicta you are not only joining their training sessions but becoming part of a community of fantastic people with passion for Karate, who reach out and support one another. If this still does not convince you to join Invicta, I don't know what will 😀.

I have joined the Invicta Academy 1.5 years ago. I was not fit (I used also to have often back pain) but willing to start a new sport with my little daughters.
Rapidly the lessons become a non negotiable appointment in my week: a moment in which I can completely switch off by anything else and focus on training, with benefit on my wellbeing (since I joined, I have never experienced back pain again).
The instructors are exceptional, true karate legends, and the lessons are very engaging, often including special guests and masterclasses.
The atmosphere is super friendly and all ages and capabilities are welcome with
opportunities for progression through graduation and tournaments.
I cannot recommend it more!
